NHTSA recall 05V092000
Trailer Hitches · Coachmen RV Company, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain class a motor homes, the rear hitch attachment brackets that connect the hitch assembly to the chassis frame may crack at the 90 degree bend.
Why it matters: If this were to occur, a complete separation of the hitch assembly from the chassis could occur, resulting in a crash due to a loss of control of the towed vehicle or trailer.
The fix: Dealers will repair the hitch assembly attachment brackets free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2005.
