What NHTSA recorded

On certain bumper-pull horse trailers, the safety cables, used to maintain a connection between the trailer and tow vehicle, are not equipped with thimbles and thus do not conform to sae j684.

Possible consequence

The cable could fail allowing the trailer/tow vehicle to separate, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install new safety cables with thimbles, which conform to sae j684. Owner notification began april 1, 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 hart at 1-888-810-4278.
