## What is wrong

On certain pickup trucks, the trailer hitch side brackets were manufactured using materials with insufficient physical properties \(i.e. yield and tensile strength\).  After extended usage, brackets built without proper material may fatigue and fracture in the area where the trailer hitch mounts to the frame. This could result in separation of the towed unit creating a  possible road hazard and crash.   Correction:  Vehicles will be inspected and any trailer hitch that exhibits evidence of fatigue cracking will be replaced.  If there is no evidence of cracking, two reinforcement plates will be installed.
