What is wrong
ON SOME TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE WELDS ON THE TRAILER COUPLERS MAY BE DEFECTIVE OR INSUFFICIENT. SHOULD THE COUPLER DETACH FROM TRAILER WHILE TOWING, THE TRAILER WOULD BE SECURED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE ONLY BY ITS SAFETY CHAINS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT COUPLER AND REWELD, IF NECESSARY, WITHOUT CHARGE.

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.
