Details

What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel trailers, the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) label located on the front of the hitch pin box of the unit contains an improper listing of the gvwr.

Why it matters: This label is giving conflicting gvwr information. The gvwr of the trailer is 18,000 lbs and the hitch label is reading 15,500.

The fix: Owners were mailed a corrected label as well as installation instructions. The customer will have the option for dealers to install this label if they prefer. The recall began on October 1, 2007.
