2000 Featherlite 4951 recalls
Recall 00V-408: Trailer Hitches
Problem: Vehicle description: trailers equipped with dotsco couplers and safety chain/fastener assemblies. The coupler locking pin that ensures that the coupler remains locked can be misplaced and not installed by the operator. The coupler locking pin also had a safety pin, which could be misplaced or come loose and fall out.
Risk: Should either situation happen, the locking mechanism of the coupler can move upward thus allowing the locking jaws of the coupler to open enough to allow the coupler to release from the ball on the tow vehicle. The safety chain assemblies may also have an inadequate fastener, which could allow the safety chain to become detached from the trailer in the event the trailer becomes uncoupled, allowing the safety chain to become detached from the trailer.
Fix: Dealers will install a coupler and safety chain/fastener kit to these trailers.
