November 19, 2002NHTSA 02V3120001,450 vehicles potentially affected

Trailer hitches › Fifth wheel assembly

Summary: Certain fifth wheel trailers may have an insufficient frame structure to support the pin box.
Consequence: Over time stress cracks could begin to occur at the frame insertion points and front cross structure surrounding the pin box (hitch). This could result in the trailer becoming partially or fully detached from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, personal injury or property damage.
Remedy: Dealers will install a reinforcement kit to the frame structure surrounding the pin box. Owner notification began April 30, 2003. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact carriage at 1-800-895-0108.
