Brinkley RV: Model Z Fifth Wheel Trailers Recalled Due to Hitch Detachment Risk

Agency Publication Date: November 22, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Brinkley RV is recalling 466 of its 2024-2025 Model Z Fifth Wheel trailers because the fasteners on the Curt Helux Pin Box may have been improperly tightened. If these fasteners loosen or fall out, the trailer could unexpectedly detach from the towing vehicle while in motion. Owners should contact an authorized dealer to have the pin box fasteners inspected and tightened to the correct specifications at no cost.

Risk

The hitch fasteners can vibrate loose and fall out, causing the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of a high-speed crash and road hazards for other drivers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your trailer's documentation or physical labels to confirm if it is a 2024-2025 Brinkley Model Z Fifth Wheel trailer equipped with a Curt Helux Pin Box.
  2. If you own an affected trailer, contact Brinkley RV customer service at 1-574-501-4280 to discuss the recall (reference recall number REC-2405).
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Brinkley RV dealer, who will tighten the pin box fasteners to the proper torque free of charge.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
