Defect

Safety risk
The safety cable may not prevent trailer detachment in the event the coupler fails, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the safety cable, free of charge. Owners may contact Tracker customer service at 1-417-873-4555. Tracker's number for this recall is TS-0039.
