2002 R-Vision Trail BAY 3000 & 2002 R-Vision Trail BAY 5000 recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with an upper deck pin box, the front section of the upper deck at the pin box area has a problem with excessive flexing.
💥 The risk
This excessive flexibility CAN cause the cracking of the surrounding frame and potentially loosen or sever the connection between the fifth wheel and the towing vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a retro fit kit to correct the problem. Owner notification began february 18, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact r-vision at 1-574-268-2111.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
