Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company pintle hook tube sub assembly that is welded to the pintle hook safety chain loop may break and fall off the vehicle.
The short version
Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company reported a problem with the structure. Here is what owners need to know.
The pintle hook tube sub assembly that is welded to the pintle hook safety chain loop may break and fall off the vehicle.
If the loop were to break off, the air lines and electrical lines would detach, applying the towed trailer's brakes, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Utility will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the pintle hook safety chain loop if it is cracked, free of charge.
