2004 Little Guy Rascal recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain MINI trailers have inadequate welds to the tongue and frame assembly. This could cause separation of the tongue assembly from the frame.
💥 The risk
This condition could cause instability and possible loss of control of the trailer, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Little trailer will exchange the trailer with a new trailer and a newly designed frame. The recall is expected to begin during august 2004. Owners should contact the little trailer company at 574-522-1112.
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.)
