Pj Trailers during production, these trailers had a notch cut into steel tongue that may have been too deep and thus compromised the strength of the tongue, causing it to crack and separate from the trailer.
The short version
PJ Trailers reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
During production, these trailers had a notch cut into steel tongue that may have been too deep and thus compromised the strength of the tongue, causing it to crack and separate from the trailer.
If the trailer separates from the tongue, the rest of the trailer would not be connected to the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
PJ Trailers has notified owners, and provided each owner with a reinforcement kit to have installed, free of charge.
