Travel Lite Recall 17V779000: Trailer Hitches
NHTSA recall 17V779000 · announced December 6, 2017 · filed by Travel Lite Rv · 163 units affected
The problem
Travel Lite RV (Travel Lite) is recalling certain 2018 Falcon recreational trailers, models F-23TH, and F-23RB. A 2" Class III hitch coupler was mistakenly installed instead of a 2 5/16" Class III hitch coupler.
The risk
Because the coupler is under rated for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer, the trailer could become unhitched from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on April 6, 2018. Owners may contact Travel Lite customer service at 1-574-831-3000.
