Defect Summary	On certain cargo/travel trailers, overloading and incorrectly positioning cargo in the rear cargo area can result in alight hitch weight and affect stability.
Consequence Summary	Depending on the specific tow vehicle and its hitch equipment, a sufficiently light hitch weight can result in sway at highway speeds. too much weight incorrectly positioned can also result in severe bending of the a-frame assembly, failure of the coupler assembly, and/or failure of the safety chains. this can cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.
Corrective Summary	Dealers will inspect the trailer, tow vehicle and hitch equipment; install new cargo load limit labels and placards in the cargo area; furnish loading limit information; replace the coupler and safety chains; and reinforce the a-frame. the recall began on november 15, 2006. owners should contact thor at 1-888-697-8467. note: this campaign supersedes a previous recall (please see 04v243).
