What is wrong
THE OMISSION OF TWO WELDS THAT CONNECT THE PINTLE HOOK CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLY TO THE TRAILER SUSPENSION SUBFRAME CAUSES FATIQUE CRACKS TO DEVELOP IN THE CROSSMEMBER. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: PINTLE HOOK CROSSMEMBER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE SUSPENSION SUBFRAME RESULTING IN A TOWED VEHICLE BEING SEPARATED FROM THE LEAD TRAILER WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALSO, LOOSENING OF FASTENERS THAT CONNECT THE BOGIE SUBFRAME TO THE BODY COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE BOGIE ASSEMBLY FROM THE TRAILER.

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.
