If ignored, then the loose bolts may fall out, and the remaining ones will be over-stressed, so the trailer hitch could separate during towing.Īs for the fixing part, the company’s authorized technicians will tighten the bolts an extra 90 degrees. According to the safety watchdog, the issue is blamed on the new supplier and might increase the risk of a crash.ĭrivers will have to listen for rattling noises coming from the rear end of their vehicle, as that’s the first sign that something bad is about to happen.
