Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

DT: CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING THE TRAVEL TRAILER THE METAL C-FRAME BROKE. THE C-FRAME ATTACHES THE HITCH BOX TO THE TRAILER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE REPAIR SHOP PULLED THE HITCH BOX OUT AND WELDED THE HITCH TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. ALSO, WELDED A FLAT BAR UNDERNEATH THE HITCH TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. THE REPAIRMAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE WAY THE HITCH WAS INSTALLED ON THE TRAILER. THE METAL SUPPORT OF THE HITCH BOX WAS TOO THIN. THE STRESS OF REGULAR MOTION ON THE ROAD WEAKENED THE METAL SUPPORT. THE CONTACT DID NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS A PERMANENT REPAIR FOR THE TRAILER. *AK
