Cracking and shearing around the pin box can cause the steel to deflect and possibly break away from the chassis steel.

Has your Glendale been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Glendale dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
