NHTSA recall 05V556000
Trailer Hitches · Starcraft RV
Details
What's wrong: On certain motor homes, the hitch receiver may have missing reinforcing plates. When a load is applied to the hitch, it may become partially detached from the frame if these plates are missing.
Why it matters: This condition, if not addressed, could result in a crash, personal injury or death.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the reinforcing plates with new hardware. The recall began on January 10, 2006.
