Curt Manufacturing Recalls Class 3 Receiver Hitches for Chrysler Vans
Curt Manufacturing is recalling Class 3 receiver hitches for certain Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vans because they may fracture when loaded to maximum capacity.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (hitch fracture) that could cause an unstable driving condition and result in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Curt Manufacturing is recalling certain Class 3 receiver hitches, part number 13347, sold as aftermarket equipment. These hitches were intended for use on 1996-2004 Plymouth Voyager vans, 1996-2007 Dodge Caravan vans, and 1997-2007 Chrysler Town and Country vans.
The recall is being issued because when the hitch is loaded to its maximum rating, it may fracture or break at the bend location where the main body of the hitch meets the hitch muffler strap. If the hitch fractures or breaks, it could cause an unstable driving condition, possibly resulting in a crash.
Curt Manufacturing will notify owners of record and replace the hitch free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during August 2010. Owners may contact Curt Manufacturing at 1-715-831-8713 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
