What to do next

Summary

Travel Lite RV (Travel Lite) is recalling certain 2018 Falcon recreational trailers, models F-23TH, and F-23RB. A 2" Class III hitch coupler was mistakenly installed instead of a 2 5/16" Class III hitch coupler.

Safety Risk

Because the coupler is under rated for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer, the trailer could become unhitched from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on April 6, 2018. Owners may contact Travel Lite customer service at 1-574-831-3000.

Additional Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
