| The company discovered that the hitches' side
brackets were made, for a time, with substandard steel which may crack. The recall affects
1998-2000 model year vehicles built between January 1998 and September 1999. There have
been no reports of hitches breaking as a result of this problem. Notification letters were mailed to owners last week. They can call their dealers to schedule a free inspection and repair. Service technicians will inspect the hitches and replace any that show signs of cracking. Hitches which have not cracked will be reinforced with a pair of brackets. It takes about an hour to complete the repair. (May 5, 2000) |
