Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

Possible consequence

These cracks eventually increase and fatigue the tongue mount to the point where the trailer could break away from the car and roll uncontrollably on the highway and possibly cause an accident.

Remedy

Reinforcement angle plates will be welded to the under side of the tongue mount and any of the potential crack areas which have cracks will be rewelded.
