Summary:
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. |
||
|
Consequence:
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. |
||
|
Remedy:
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. |
