Thank you for the information. Will tell insurance company about recall. May help. Makes us feel better. We will also get a hold of Fleetwood.
Fleetwood went out of business and the NEW Fleetwood will not accept responsibility. Doug

And it also serves as a reminder to crawl under and take a look at the farm boys turned welders lack of quality work. Seeing first hand Fleetwood's weld quality it doesn't surprise me. It does make me wonder if the hitch as been over stressed before. Did you have a braking system on the toad?
I have yet to get under my 2016 Bounder and not find anything to repair due to the lack of quality control.
Glad your okay and only sheet metal involved.
I second that! I check in the spring and halfway through the summer. Always making sure there isn't any cracks or bolts loosened up on the hitch, all the way through the towing setup, including the tow bars and toad mounting bracket. Any rust signs along a weld would have me worried.

Not a recall but safety. 2004 Fleetwood flair. Coming into campsite yesterday and a car cut me off. I slammed on brakes to avoid accident. Trailer hitch broke at welds with I believe broke tow bar and went through hood and radiator. Car should be totaled. If you have and older motorhome check hitch over close. If anyone knows where to buy a new hitch please let me know. I have been searching and can not find. Thank you.
That was a cheap hitch to break at the welds from just slamming on the breaks, I would look at getting a hitch with a high towing rate vs the standard 5000 lb.

Just google Frame mount hitch and you come up with pages.
