Trailer may Separate from Gooseball
Description
Horizon Global (Horizon) is recalling certain Reese Elite Aftermarket Gooseball kits, both the Hi-Rise Ball kit, part number 19315, and the GM Kit, part number 30891, sold for aftermarket installation on Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the factory OEM underbed package. These parts are the connector used in a gooseneck hitch to connect the towing vehicle's underbed to a trailer. The load dynamics of the underbed in these vehicles may potentially result in the trailer separating from the gooseball.
Injuries / Consequence
If the trailer separates from the gooseball and the trailer is not using safety chains, the trailer could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Horizon will work with dealers to notify owners, and provide reimbursement for the parts purchased. The recall began January 10, 2019. Customers may contact Horizon customer service number at 1-877-973-7871.
