Issue
On certain vehicles equipped with 10,000 lbs trailer hitch receivers, the hitch may have been installed with locknuts containing a nylon insert. These are unsuitable for this application and may loosen over time. If the locknuts were to become loose, the trailer hitch may deform or detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and nylon-style locknuts will be replaced with all-metal (Stover) style locknuts.
