Recall 1994066

The issue

On certain vehicles, each side of the weight-distribution trailer hitch was attached by just two of the three specified fasteners. This could allow the hitch to move under towing loads and result in eventual failure of the fasteners. If this were to occur while a trailer was being pulled, the hitch and trailer could separate from the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install a bolt, two washers, and a nut on each side of the trailer hitch platform.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, chaque côté de l'attelage de remorque répartiteur de charge n'est fixé que par deux des trois attaches prévues. Il se peut donc que l'attelage se déplace sous l'effet de la charge remorquée et qu'éventuellement les attaches se brisent. Si cela se produit quand le véhicule traîne une remorque, l'attelage et la remarque peuvent se détacher et causer un accident non prévisible. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront installer un boulon, deux rondelles et un écrou de chaque côté de la plate forme d'attelage de remorque.
