Recall 2017166

The issue

On certain motorhomes, the frame rail extensions may not adequately support the trailer hitch mounting flange. Under certain loading, or heavy braking conditions the trailer hitch could possibly detach, which would result in the loss of the towed vehicle and/or trailer, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install frame rail extension liner brackets and add gussets to the lower extension flanges to add structural support to the hitch.

Description (français)

Les prolongements de longeron de cadre de châssis de certaines autocaravanes pourraient ne pas supporter adéquatement la bride de fixation d’attelage de remorque, ce qui pourrait entraîner une séparation de l’attelage et de la remorque accroître les risques de collision pouvant causer des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels, dans certaines conditions de charge ou pendant un usage intense des freins. Mesure corrective : les concessionnaires doivent accroître la capacité de soutien structural de l’attelage en installant des supports de revêtement de prolongement de longeron et en ajoutant des goussets aux brides de prolongement inférieures.
