Really?
Telling someone to look at a website or go to the dealer isn’t what it is cracked up to be, especially in this case where it appears there is no recall BUT there was a push to get a class action suit.
You can search the NTSB website for days and never find any conclusive results since there is so many recalls..
:h
The O.P. specifically asked how he could find out if there is a recall on the hitch on his vehicle. I answered his question as accurately as possible given the information he put in his post.
Did you bother to even look at the NTSB link I posted for the O.P.'s benefit? Here it is again
It requires that one know/enter the details of the vehicle itself, which only the O.P. is in a position to know. Doing so will bring up ANY/ALL recalls related to that particular vehicle- certainly useful information for any owner. It won't take "days" to look through such a list since very few vehicles have pages and pages of recalls attached to them.
I think my answer to be more to the point than your own, and a lot more civil.
A bit grumpy? :E
Well All YOUR link does is take you to the NTSB WEBSITE.
Put in info and NOTHING, NO RECALLS LISTED, NO INVESTIGATIONS, NOTHING other than 98 "complaints".. The hitch issue was "whitewashed" and been forgotten.
YOU CAN LOOK HERE FOR YOURSELF
You put way too much "faith" in that website..
NOTHING IS NO REAL INFO when it IS a WELL KNOWN ISSUE.
I am pointing out that things like this which tend to get swept under the carpet but I REMEMBERED that there has been folks who posted about having their hitch bend or break which was the round tube design..
The OP would have seen the info on the NTSB and ASSUME "all is good in the world" not knowing that they just might want to consider replacing with a BETTER design...
Sorry that I am able to "remember" this info AND it offended you that I was ABLE to give the OP MORE information than what they requested..... How dare I introduce additional info :B
