Equalizer Bolt Head Sheared Off

My husband just went out to clean up our Equalizer hitch and found that the head of the angle set bolt has sheared off completely. We have no idea how this happened. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any ideas on how to fix it? We had hoped to take the trailer out next weekend - I guess that's out of the question? We are not happy campers!

FWIW, we bought the hitch from the dealer in January 2013 with the trailer.

    We are definitely planning on contacting them - of course, not open until Monday. Unfortunately, I think it's going to take a machine shop to get the old bolt out - not sure how it's going to be fixed!:(

    We were mainly wondering if anyone else has heard of this happening.

    I had a problem with another brand, called them the same day and they sent out replacement parts without questions.

    Take photos as they may want to see for themselves. My brand (Husky) did me good.
