NHTSA recall 05V465000
Trailer Hitches · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
Details
What's wrong: On certain class a and class b motor homes, the hitch may have been manufactured with a spacer plate that does not fit flush to the rear extension.
Why it matters: This causes the fasteners to be corner loaded when tightened which could cause the hitch to fail during usage causing a crash which could result in death and injury.
The fix: Dealers will install a new spacer plate and add six new bolts, washers and nuts to secure the spacer plate in place. The recall began on November 11, 2005.
