What is wrong
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE MOUNTING TABS USED TO MOUNT THE FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO THE CHASSIS IN PLACE OF THE NORMAL CONTINUOUS ANGLE CONSTRUCTION COULD CRACK. THESE CRACKS CAN DEVELOP IN THE AREAS WHERE THE TABS ARE WELDED TO THE SIDE OF THE FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLY. IF THESE CRACKS GO UNDETECTED, THE FIFTH WHEEL COULD EVENTUALLY SEPARATE FROM THE CHASSIS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL MODIFY THE FIFTH WHEEL MOUNTING WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
