Morryde Trailer Hitches: Fifth Wheel Assembly

Morryde is recalling about 2,766 vehicles over a problem with the trailer hitches. If the rotating pin box has been unlocked and allowed to rotate, the shorter bolt can allow the wedge that locks out the rotation of the pin box to break free from the pin box, allowing the rotating pin box to rotate in two places, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturers file these figures with NHTSA each quarter. Vehicles the manufacturer could not trace, or that have been scrapped or exported, are counted separately and are not included in the unrepaired figure.

What the defect is

MORryde International, Inc. (MORryde) is recalling certain You Turn and Orbital Rotating Pin boxes. The pin boxes may have been equipped with bolts 1-3/4" in length when they should be equipped with 2" long bolts.

What could happen

If the rotating pin box has been unlocked and allowed to rotate, the shorter bolt can allow the wedge that locks out the rotation of the pin box to break free from the pin box, allowing the rotating pin box to rotate in two places, increasing the risk of a crash.

What gets fixed

MORryde will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the bolt, and provide replacement bolts if necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 6, 2019.

Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 19 July 2019.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Check your own vehicle

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
