NHTSA recall campaign
18E022000
What was wrong
Defect
Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. (Keystone) is recalling certain Husky Towing Products, fifth wheel trailer hitches, part numbers 31569/14-1706, and 31570/14-1707. The fasteners in the fifth wheel trailer hitch may loosen, potentially causing the jaws to unexpectedly open or preventing the jaws from being able to be unlocked.
Risk
If the jaws unexpectedly open, the fifth wheel trailer will not be secured to the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected hardware using thread locker, free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2018. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-800-432-8063.
