2003 Strick 0400CD recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain converter dollies, there is a clearance problem between the loop on the trailer and the loop on the dolly. The hook on the end of the chain will not pass between the loop and the pintle hook.
💥 The risk
See NHTSA details.
🔧 The fix
Strick will modify and shorten the front gusset of the dolly leg to clear the new loop that will be installed. The handles will be relocated back behind the old loop and a new loop will be welded in place. Owner notification began on may 3, 2004. Owners should contact strick at 1-215-949-3600.
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.)
