NHTSA recall 08V596000
Trailer Hitches · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with putnam hitches. After some period of use, certain trailer hitches may develop stress fractures due to sharp radii and /or tool marking.
Why it matters: Fractures in the suspect hitches may result in hitch separation, potentially resulting in injury and/or property damage.
The fix: Newmar is working with spartan who will replace the trailer hitch free of charge (please see 08V567).
