Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain MTP 20K Surge Brake Couplers with part number 2023050981. The couplers may have an incorrect label stating a capacity of 20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) when the accurate capacity is 19,000 lbs. GVWR, which can allow the brake system to be overloaded. As such, these couplers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and electric brake systems."
Compare the exact product and every lot, model, serial range or date listed in the official notice. A similar name alone does not establish that your product is included.
