What NHTSA recorded

The platform trailer hitches on the suspect vehicles may not have been assembled with sufficient hitch-to-attachment bolt clamp load. If this condition exists, the trailer hitch attaching parts may loosen and break.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the hitch and rear bumper, retorque the attachment bolts and replace the existing rear hitch-to-frame bolts at no cost to owner.
