- Have not had that happen but I have had my Blue Ox baseplate come loose. One bolt was sheared off and the others were about to fall out. That was on our 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. Have a friend that had the same thing happen with his Ford Edge.
- Have not had it happen to me, but I've seen it happen, with stainlees steel locking pins. These should be inspected each time before use, for cracks or the beginnings of cracks, where they are machined.
