Pintle Hooks may not Stay Latched
Description
Horizon Global (Horizon) is recalling certain U-Haul 4204, Draw-Tite 63010, 63011 and 63012 and Reese Towpower 6301142, 741161142, 74115, 7411542, 74116, 74117, and 7411742 Ball and Pintle Hook combination sold between November 2019 and August 2020. Due to an out of position pivot hole on the base component, there may be reduced engagement between the T-latch and the base, possibly preventing the upper moveable jaw from securely locking in the closed position.
Injuries / Consequence
If the pintle hook comes unlocked, the towed vehicle may separate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Horizon will work with dealers and distributors to notify owners, and replace the affected pintle hooks, free of charge. The recall began November 3, 2020. Owners may contact Horizon customer service at 1-877-973-7871.
