REESE ELITE GOOSEBALL
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Horizon Global is recalling certain Reese Elite Aftermarket Gooseball kits used to connect trailers to Chevrolet and GMC trucks. The kits recalled are the Hi-Rise Ball kit (part number 19315) and the GM Kit (part number 30891), which are installed under the truck bed. The load dynamics of these underbed systems may cause the trailer to separate from the gooseball connector, and if the trailer is not secured with safety chains, this could result in the trailer separating from the vehicle entirely, increasing the risk of a crash.
Horizon began notifying owners on January 10, 2019, and will work with dealers to provide reimbursement for parts purchased. Customers with affected hitches should contact Horizon customer service at 1-877-973-7871.
