Certain motorhomes have incorrectly sized huck bolts holding the trailer hitch to the motorhome frame. These incorrectly sized bolts can loosen and this results in separation of the trailer hitch from the motorhome. This could lead to towed unit separation or the hitch falling to the ground and becoming a road hazard. Correction: Existing bolts will be removed and replaced with correctly sized nuts, lock washers, and bolts.
