NHTSA recall campaign
20E086000
What was wrong
Defect
Aries Industries Inc. (Aries) is recalling certain Tow Hitches manufactured for several truck brands and models with Class 3 and Class 4 tow weight ratings. The tow hitches may not be able to tow the rated weight rating of these vehicles, which can cause the hitch plates to bend or break, or cause cracked welds.
Risk
Tow hitch plates that bend, break, or crack welds can make the towed equipment difficult to control or cause separation of the tow vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Aries will notify owners, and dealers will install reinforcement plates, or replace the tow hitches, free of charge. The recall began January 5, 2021. Owners may contact Aries customer service at 1-262-446-5624.
