The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, each side of the weight-distribution trailer hitch was attached by just two of the three specified fasteners. This could allow the hitch to move under towing loads and result in eventual failure of the fasteners. If this were to occur while a trailer was being pulled, the hitch and trailer could separate from the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install a bolt, two washers, and a nut on each side of the trailer hitch platform.
