Roadmaster tow bars recalled for potential hitch separation and crash risk
What this means
The roll pin that secures the T-bolt to the stinger on certain Roadmaster tow bars may loosen over time. If the pin fails, the tow bar can separate from the hitch receiver, causing the towed vehicle to detach and increasing crash risk.
