The issue
THE PIN WHICH TIES THE LOCKING LEVER TO THE CLAMPING JAW IS NOT ADEQUATELY SECURED. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE PIN TO SLIP OUT OF POSITION ENOUGH FOR ONE SIDE OF THE LEVER AND CLAMP TO WORK FREE AND COULD RESULT IN THE COUPLER DISENGAGING FROM THE TRAILER HITCH BALL WHILE UNDER TOW. CORRECTION: PRODUCT WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM MARKET.
Description (français)
La goupille qui retient le levier de verrouillage à la mâchoire de serrage n'est pas bien fixée et peut glisser au point qu'un côté du levier et de la mâchoire se détache. Cela peut amener le dispositif d'attelage à se séparer de la boule d'attelage de la remorque.
