MORGAN OLSON
The problem
A 2" BALL WAS TO BE WELDED TO A STEEL BAR AS WELL AS THE NUT FOR THE BALL WELDED TO THE SHANK. SOME VEHICLES WERE NOT PROPERLY WELDED ALLOWING THE NUT TO COME OFF.
Risk
THE BALL CAN SEPARATE FROM THE STEEL BAR ALLOWING LOSS OF THE TOWED TRAILER.
What owners should do
THE TRAILER HITCHES WILL BE INSPECTED AND WELDED PROPERLY.
