What is wrong
Aries Industries Inc. (Aries) is recalling certain Tow Hitches manufactured for several truck brands and models with Class 3 and Class 4 tow weight ratings. The tow hitches may not be able to tow the rated weight rating of these vehicles, which can cause the hitch plates to bend or break, or cause cracked welds.
What can happen
Tow hitch plates that bend, break, or crack welds can make the towed equipment difficult to control or cause separation of the tow vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Aries will notify owners, and dealers will install reinforcement plates, or replace the tow hitches, free of charge. The recall began January 5, 2021. Owners may contact Aries customer service at 1-262-446-5624.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
