2000–2003 Strick 0400CD recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain converter dollies equipped with jost international jsk 37U series fifth wheels, a fatigue crack CAN develop in the bracket pin weld under certain loading conditions.
💥 The risk
If left undetected or corrected it could lead to the separation of the fifth wheel top plate from its mounting structure, possibly resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the bracket pins and repair instructions free of charge. 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 jost international at 616-846-7700 or by email to [email protected] or strick at 215-949-3600.
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.)
