Posted on: 2002-06-13
Description
On certain motor homes, an improperly mounted trailer hitch may have been installed on these motor homes. The trailer hitch may not have all the required fasteners attached to the motor home.
Consequence
If the hitch is utilized, it could stress the existing fasteners. A condition could exist that would shear or loosen the remaining fastener causing the hitch to separate from the vehicle, resulting in bodily injury and/or property damage.
Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the trailer hitch, and if necessary, add or replace the mounting hardware. Owner notification began june 21, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
