Trailer hitches

Summary: Aluminum trailer company (atc) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 atc car hauler trailers with extended hitches manufactured from December 1, 2006 through September 16, 2011. These trailers with 12" extended hitch frames are breaking near the front cross member on the frame of the trailer. This is caused by insufficient material used in the frame hitch.
Consequence: The hitch could potentially break causing separation from the towing vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of loss of control and posing a risk of personal injury and property damage.
Remedy: Atc will repair the aluminum trailer hitch free of charge. The safety recall began on November 10, 2011. Owners may contact atc at 1-877-441-2440.
