Details
What's wrong:
Why it matters: Hitch tow bar could separate from the vertical mountingplate, resulting in tow bar attachment failure and separation of trailer fromtow vehicle without warning.
The fix: A component will be supplied to customer to be attached to the vehicle towing loop, to eliminate cyclic stress in the vertical load plate. Units found with existing fatigue fractures will be replaced with modified hitches.
