Details
What's wrong: The trailer hitch side brackets were manufactured using material with insufficient strength.
Why it matters: Brackets built without proper material could fatigue and fracture in the area where the trailer hitch mounts to the frame.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the trailer hitches and replace any trailer hitch showing signs of fatigue cracking. If no evidence of cracking exists, the dealer will install two reinforcement brackets.
