Brinkley RV: Safety Chains Are Underrated For GVWR

Agency Publication Date: September 26, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Brinkley RV is recalling 40 of its 2025 Model Z travel trailers because the installed safety chains are not strong enough for the vehicle's weight rating. These underrated chains can break while the trailer is being towed, which could cause the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle. Dealers will replace the safety chains with correctly rated hardware free of charge to resolve the safety issue.

Risk

If the safety chains break, the trailer can completely detach from the towing vehicle while in motion, significantly increasing the risk of a crash on the road.
