B&W Custom Truck Beds (B&W) is recalling certain Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mounts manufactured from February 7, 2013, through January 7, 2014 and equipped with Nitrotec-coated steel pins to secure the ball mounts to the trailer hitches. The securing pins of the affected ball mounts may fracture while being used.
If the securing pin fractures, the trailer being towed could separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
B&W will notify owners and will replace the securing pins with stainless steel pins, free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2014. Customers may contact B&W at 1-800-248-6564.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
