Recall 1989084

The issue

Certain C1500, C3500, K1500 and K3500 vehicles may have below specified torque on the optional trailer hitch attaching fasteners. This could allow the trailer hitch to move under towing loads and eventually lead to failure of the fasteners. If this occurs while a trailer is being pulled, the hitch and trailer could separate and a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: Trailer hitch will be inspected for evidence of hitch movement and if movement has occurred, the fasteners will be replaced and correctly torqued. If no movement has occurred, the attaching fasteners will be tightened to the specified torque.

Description (français)

Sur certains C1500, C3500, K1500 et K3500, il se peut que les attaches de l'ensemble de remorquage offert en option n'aient pas la résistance prescrite. Si c'est le cas l'ensemble de remorquage peut bouger et lés attaches risquent de se briser. Si les attaches se brisent alors que le véhicule traîne une remorque, l'ensemble de remorquage et la remorque peuvent se séparer du véhicule. Un accident est alors possible.
