The short version
Heil Company reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
On the affected trailers, the cables of the secondary coupling system may fail to keep the trailer connected to the tow vehicle if the pintle hitch connection should fail.
A failure of the cables of the secondary coupling system after the pintle hitch has become disconnected, could result in the trailer detaching from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Heil will notify owners and dealers and will install larger diameter secondary coupling cables, free of charge.
