| Recall Details |
| The trailer hitch side brackets were manufactured
using materials with insufficient physical properties (i.e. yield and tensile
strength). After extended usage, brackets built without proper material
may fatigue and fracture in the area where the trailer hitch mounts to the
frame. This could result in separation of the towed unit creating a possible
road hazard and crash. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and any trailer
hitch that exhibits evidence of fatigue cracking will be replaced. If there
is no evidence of cracking, two reinforcement plates will be installed. |
| To determine if your vehicle was involved in a recall and
has not been corrected, you should contact the manufacturer providing the
vehicle's make, model, year and serial number. |
