I would immediately contact Reese. Im sure they will want to know all the details of the incident. They may want to view/inspect the hitch if you would allow them to do so.
+1 Best answer of the bunch!
When I was working as a Design Engineer we always welcomed information from the field on issues or "failures". Inspection and information on the item and what happened allowed us to determine if a design should be considered or more likely instructions/decals to properly instruct use, maintenance, etc.
Reese is your best bet.
