Towing Safety

Towing a large trailer requires special care! Both the trailer and vehicle must be in good condition and securely fastened
to each other to reduce the possibility of an accident.
ALWAYS check that the hitch and coupling on the
vehicle are rated equal to, or greater than, the trailer's
"gross vehicle weight rating" (GVWR).
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or
damage. DO NOT tow trailer using defective parts!
ALWAYS make sure the coupling is securely fas-
tened to the vehicle.
ALWAYS check tires on trailer for tread wear, infla-
tion, and condition. Replace worn tires.
ALWAYS connect the safety chains.
If you believe your trailer has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying WACKER
Corporation.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation; and if it finds that a safety defect exists in
a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your dealer, or WACKER Corporation.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0129 in
Washington DC area) or write to NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590. You can
also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
