On certain vehicles, each side of the weight-distribution trailer hitch was attached by just two of the three specified fasteners. This could allow the hitch to move under towing loads and result in eventual failure of the fasteners. If this were to occur while a trailer was being pulled, the hitch and trailer could separate from the vehicle and a crash could occur without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will install a bolt, two washers, and a nut on each side of the trailer hitch platform.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1994066.
