What’s wrong with it?

LOW HITCH WEIGHT CAN RESULT IN INSTABILITY AND POORDIRECTIONAL CONTROL BETWEEN THE TOW VEHICLE AND THE TRAVEL TRAILER.

THESE TRAVEL TRAILERS HAVE TOO LIGHT A HITCH WEIGHT AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
