So he went a year and had noticed the hitch was bending but didn't take it back to the dealer? So who is to blame if a disaster was to happen? As the Operator you are responsible for your vehicle. And especially if you know something doesn't look right.
To be fair, I didn't want to write a novel. He did take it back once last year when he noticed it. They thought it was a loose bolt on the hitch itself like I did. Looked at it and it was tight, told him the "bending" was normal. And sent him on his way. They never looked at the receiver. He is not mechanically inclined, so he trusted what they had to say. He just thought because he was close to his max towing that it was normal as that's what he was told.
