Trailer hitch recall for 14/15's with Z82

[02Sierra_Mark]

I checked mine on my.chevrolet.com and I have the recall...built in Aug '14....double cab.

[glcbn]

My 2014 dbl cab z71 has the Z82 option listed and with a build date 7/18/14 and mine is not coming up affected on the my.chevrolet.com recall web site. Is this where you guys are finding yours listed? Has anyone determined if it spans only a certain period of time when manufactured or build location?

 

 

Might not affect later '14 build dates.

I'd call dealer anyway, just to verify.

Yes...my.chevrolet.com and verified by Silver Sled on this thread and by my dealer Service Manager wow told me the write up says it is very selective by VIN. Mine is an early build, 8/13, DC.

Me too. That's why I asked for Silver Sled's source. I can't find this one, but I did find a bunch of trailer hitch recall articles for Jeep and some older GM 2500 and 3500 trucks.

My Chevy dealership called me telling me I have a recall before I even got a letter from chevrolet or anything to let me know

This does suck because I take my boat out every other weekend and now I'm hesitant to take it out this weekend. I've towed the thing since dec. And don't want to lose it in the water and have to sue Chevy as well as put an insurance claim in for my boat. Only 6klb but I am going to check my welds in the morning. Maybe post pix if it looks bad

After finding that I had the recall I put my truck up in the air and inspected the hitch.

 

I found no evidence of problems. And I inspect cranes daily so I KNOW what to look for.

 

That said it's at the dealer right now getting fixed.

I have a late build Sierra and mine has the recall.

Maybe it's a round tube vs square tube hitch issue?

My truck is a 2015 z71 and it had the recall on it I just took it in for an oil change and the guy said they just were made aware of this recall

[fondupot]

I checked the recall website and looks like my truck has the Z82 package.

 

I don't think I've even hooked a trailer up to my truck.

 

But I'll get it fixed.

Got the truck back yesterday and on the work order it says "remanufactured unit"..... Things that make you go "hmmmm"

 

I'll put it in the air soon to torque the bolts I strongly suspect they were just run up with an impact in the least amount of time possible. Curious to see what they put on my truck.

What are the torque specs for the hitch bolts? I will want to check mine as well when ever I get around to getting it replaced.

What is the part# for the hitch they used? If you don't mind me asking.

Hope that is what you were asking.

^{Just curious, if they used the part/part# the recall states. It appears they did.}
