Trailer hitches

What is wrong: Vehicle description: fifth wheel trailers equipped with upper bedroom slideouts, 34 degree pin box, and 51mmx178mm box front rail. The fifth wheels can experience excessive flexing in the upper chassis which can lead to failure in the area of the pin box. Cracking and shearing around the pin box can cause the steel to deflect and possibly break away from the chassis steel.
Risk: If steel failure occurs, pin could drop or shift off hitch possibly causing a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will reinforce the pin box area.
