NHTSA recall 11V002000
Trailer Hitches · Keystone RV Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with lippert component Hitch couplers for lack of indentation on the forward Edge of the coupler.
Why it matters: If the coupler is lacking the indent it will lead to an increased risk of trailer separation from the hitch ball while towing resulting in property damage and/or vehicle crash.
The fix: Owners are asked to inspect the hitch coupler for the correct stamping. If the hitch coupler is not formed correctly arrangements will be made to replace it free of charge. The safety recall began on January 24, 2011.
