## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain trucks, the welds that attach the trailer hitch may crack due to improper welding. As a result, the hitch could detach from the truck while towing a trailer.

Note: This recall only affects certain trucks with trailer hitches installed by Commercial Truck Equipment.

Safety Risk:

A trailer that detaches from a truck could create a risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Commercial Truck Equipment will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect the trailer hitch and repair or replace it, as necessary. You should stop using the trailer hitch until the inspection and repair have been completed.
