Trailer HitchesCrash

Filed Oct 6, 2021NM

The contact owns a 2018 GMC Acadia hauling a 2021 Coachman Clipper travel trailer. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the contact hit a bump in the road and the travel trailer detached from the vehicle. The contact depressed on the brake pedal after hearing a loud noise and the travel trailer crashed and damaged the vehicle's rear bumper. Prior to the failure, the contact had properly secured and locked the travel trailer hitch to the vehicle. The travel trailer was towed to a trailer equipment dealer. During the tow, one of the travel trailer safety chains was fractured, but the trailer hitch was still latched with a pin through it. The dealer replaced the coupler hitch, safety chains, sidewind jack, and jack sensor. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
