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.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"872","part_number":null,"units":22881,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Structure","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines camionettes, les supports latéraux de l’attelage de remorque ont été fabriqués avec des matériaux dont la résistance au fléchissement et la résistance à la traction sont insuffisantes. Après usage prolongé, les supports faits de matériaux inférieurs peuvent se briser par fatigue à l’endroit où l’attelage est monté sur le cadre. Il se pourrait alors que l’unité remorquée se détache et cause un accident.  Correction : Les véhicules devront être inspectés et tout attelage de remorque qui présente des signes de fatigue ou qui comporte des fissures devra être remplacé.
