The receiver hitch tore on both sides where the manufacturer (lippert) bends it, you can see where there press pinched the bend possibly weakening it. I have seen other forums and posts today about similar issues and denied responsibility from lippert on those posts. The hitch is available for inspection, ourselves and others were at risk of injury or death. I have not brought the physical unit into a shop, I don’t think it’s an insurance claim, and I don’t think I can report it to police? Since the situation was realized before it became catastrophic. The website will not allow me to add photos. Please respond back and I can reply to that email with photos

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
