The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
The screw(s) in the hitch can become loose and fall off due to vibrations when items are being towed, allowing the sled and hitch to detach from the towing vehicle. This poses an injury hazard to the user and bystanders.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Parts can come loose.
Consumers should immediately stop using the sled tow hitch and contact the firm to receive a free replacement kit and installation instructions.
Who to contact: For additional information, contact Pelican International toll-free at (888) 669-6960 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Website atwww.pelicansport.com
