    NHTSA 90V197000 Reported 1,350 vehicles potentially affected I.R. WITZER CO., INC.

    The mating surface on some laminated "j" hooks may be uneven, or the swing down arms unequal in length, either of which could result in uneven load bearing of the hooks.

    Remedy: Replace swing down arms if they are unequal in length, and inspect and repair "j" hooks to assure symmetrical loading.
