The problem
Wildcat is recalling certain model year 2004-2009 510 and model year 2007-2009 510lt trailers equipped with an adjustable length tongue assembly. The pintle eye used in the tongue assembly does not have an adequate vertical or horizontal load rating for the gross weight of the vehicle.
The risk
The pintle eye could fail resulting in separation of the tongue from the tow vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Field kit modifications are currently under development. The safety recall began on june 18, 2010. Owners may contact wildcat at 800-627-3954.
