    Trailer Hitches / Fifth Wheel Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Kaffenbarger truck equipment (k-tec) is recalling 129 my 2006-2008 international class 8 truck tractors equipped with saf-holland simplex fifth wheels. The latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve. Corrosion or contaminates in the pivot may cause it to bind and prevent the fifth wheel jaw from latching securely around the trailer king pin.
