Trailer hitches
Travel Lite Falcon
Reported Dec 6, 2017163 vehicles affectedTravel Lite RvBuilt Apr 3, 2017 – Nov 17, 2017
The defect
Travel Lite RV (Travel Lite) is recalling certain 2018 Falcon recreational trailers, models F-23TH, and F-23RB. A 2" Class III hitch coupler was mistakenly installed instead of a 2 5/16" Class III hitch coupler.
The risk
Because the coupler is under rated for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer, the trailer could become unhitched from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on April 6, 2018. Owners may contact Travel Lite customer service at 1-574-831-3000.
