Issue

On certain transfer trailers, the drawbar (tongue) can develop stress cracks which, over time, may cause the drawbar to fail. This could allow the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, possibly striking another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealer will inspect the drawbar and, if necessary, install safety cables and additional gussets.
