What NHTSA recorded

There may be below specified torque on the trailer hitch attaching fasteners, allowing the trailer hitch to move under towing loads.

Possible consequence

Fasteners could fail; if this occurs while traileris being pulled, hitch and trailer could separate and a vehicle crash couldoccur without prior warning.

Remedy

Correct torque in trailer hitch fasteners to prevent trailer separation.
