NHTSA recall 03V013000
Trailer Hitches · R-VISION
Details
What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with an upper deck pin box, the front section of the upper deck at the pin box area has a problem with excessive flexing.
Why it matters: This excessive flexibility can cause the cracking of the surrounding frame and potentially loosen or sever the connection between the fifth wheel and the towing vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a retro fit kit to correct the problem. Owner notification began February 18, 2003.
