What NHTSA recorded

On some travel trailers, the welds on the trailer couplers may be defective or insufficient. Should the coupler detach from trailer while towing, the trailer would be secured to the towing vehicle only by its safety chains.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect coupler and reweld, if necessary, without charge.
