Recall 02V-166: Trailer Hitches
Problem: On certain livestock and horse steel gooseneck trailers, inadequate reinforcement and material on certain components of the trailer's gooseneck assembly can, over time, lead to a failure of the assembly.
Risk: Failure of the assembly could result in accidental damage including personal injury, property damage, or both.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the trailer for any indications of cracked welds anywhere in the gooseneck area, loose side sheet skin anywhere on the gooseneck, or any indications that the floor above the coupler stem is raised or elevated. A reinforcement plate will be welded to the side of the frame tube and corner brace plates. Also, if needed, an additional cross tube will be added above the coupler assembly.
