The Tow Hitch, on the rear of the motorhome, broke off while towing my car. This caused my car to be released from the motorhome at 65 mph on southbound I-75 in KY. The car careened into the center median barrier. Luckily, the car did not impact anyone or anything else while it was out of control. The manufacturer, REV/Fleetwood has issued a Recall Notice for a broken Tow Hitch, for a similar motorhome, using the same hitch supplier, mounted to a similar chassis, during the same time frame. Pictures have been sent to REV/Fleetwood, a Scott County Kentucky Sheriff, a Progressive Insurance adjuster and Lexington Hitch and Trailer have inspected the Tow Hitch. I had no indication of the failure, other than another motorist, who flagged me down immediately after the separation. Please note: The REV/Fleetwood action is # Recall Bulletin 230516REV. It is a pdf document, that is too large to upload to this site.
