Component

TRAILER HITCHES

Manufacturer
KNAPHEIDE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
What Happened
The trailer hitch on your truck bed is a metal structure that attaches to the vehicle to hold trailers. It's attached with welds, but some of those welds might not be strong enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If a weld fails, the hitch could bend or even break off, which could make you lose control of a trailer and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will either remove the hitch and replace it with a new ICC bumper for free, or add a new receiver hitch assembly and re-weld the weak spots to ensure your hitch is safe and secure — at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer to confirm repair availability now.
