What NHTSA recorded

Reinforcement gussets were omitted during installation of some pintle hooks. This may result in cracking of the welds on the plate securing the pintle hook mount. Failure of the plate welds may result in complete separation of the rear trailer from the first.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install reinforcement gussets to preclude pintle hook failure.
