REESE PINTLE HOOK; DRAW-TITE PINTLE HOOK; U-HAUL PINTLE HOOK
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Horizon Global is recalling certain trailer hitches sold between November 2019 and August 2020 under the brands U-Haul, Draw-Tite, and Reese Towpower. The affected models are U-Haul 4204, Draw-Tite 63010, 63011, and 63012, and Reese Towpower 6301142, 741161142, 74115, 7411542, 74116, 74117, and 7411742 Ball and Pintle Hook combinations. The problem stems from a manufacturing defect—an out-of-position pivot hole on the base component—that can reduce engagement between the T-latch and base, preventing the upper jaw from locking securely in the closed position.
If the pintle hook comes unlocked, the towed vehicle may separate from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. Horizon will replace the affected pintle hooks free of charge through its network of dealers and distributors. The recall began November 3, 2020. Affected owners should contact Horizon customer service at 1-877-973-7871 to arrange replacement.
