2007–2008 Hyundai Translead Converter Dolly Trailer recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
Hyundai translead is recalling 605 my 2007-2008 Converter Dolly trailers equipped with saf-holland simplex fifth wheels. A deformed spacer may prevent the lever bar from fully articulating, thus preventing the sliding lock from engaging the jaw in the coupled position around the Trailer kingpin.
💥 The risk
Failure of the fifth wheel to fully couple with the Trailer could result in the Trailer detaching when in motion causing serious damage and /or death.
