Service bulletin March ing On Mar

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Hello, another month has past and the passing days are filled with longer daylight which only means one thing. Spring is here!! The Airstream is shined up, full of supplies and hitched up ready to go?..hitched and ready to go? Did you really check the hitch, inspect the hitch under the tow vehicle, look for loose bolts, check for worn, rusted, or damaged parts? We buy new tires, add cool accessories and other items for our trailers, but in many cases we are using the same hitch and components we used 10 years ago. We may even remark on all the miles that we have on the tow vehicle and that she is as good as she ever was. Well is the hitch as good as it ever was, has it been inspected? This isn?t meant to unnecessarily scare anyone but just a reminder that inspecting your hitch should be an important part of your checklist.

The document

The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.

Components

Trailer hitch

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
