Recall 07V-060: 2003–2007 Bigfoot B-21 FB
BIGFOOT INDUSTRIES, INC. recall for trailer hitches, reported to NHTSA on Feb 16, 2007, covering about 80 vehicles.
The problem
On certain travel trailers, the hitch tongue load may be insufficient. When the trailer is towed in a dry condition, I.e., no water, liquid propane gas, battery, or cargo, in an empty state, the trailer may begin to sway.
The risk
This may occur without warning and could lead to the loss of control of the tow vehicle/trailer combination, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a heavier structural section in the coupler area and an add-on kit to supplement the tongue load. The recall began on february 9, 2007. Owners may contact big foot at 1-250-546-2155.
