2006-12-18, Trailer Hitches
5000 LB. RECEIVER HITCH ATTACHMENT FAILURE. RECEIVER HITCH ATTACHED TO MOTOR HOME CHASSIS WITH 4 RIVET TYPE FASTENERS. THESE FASTENERS HAVE WORKED LOOSE IN LESS THAN 32 MONTHS AND 14000 MILES. THEY CAN NOT BE TIGHTENED. THE LOOSENESS HAS CAUSED THE HOLES IN THE CHASSIS TO ELONGATE. IF THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN DISCOVERED BY A UTAH HIGHWAY PATROLMAN, THE RECEIVER HITCH COULD HAVE COME LOOSE FROM THE MOTOR HOME. BECAUSE THE SAFETY CABLES ARE ATTACHED TO THIS ATTACHMENT AND NOT THE CHASSIS, COMPLETE FAILURE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE TOWED VEHICLE TO ALSO BECOME COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE MOTOR HOME. IF THIS CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR, INJURY OR FATALITY COULD OCCUR DUE TO THE TOWED
