Bigfoot B-21 FB Travel Trailer: Other
Affects Bigfoot B-21 FB Travel Trailer · 2003–2007 — about 46 vehicles.
The hazard
Certain travel trailers were manufactured with insufficient hitch tongue weight. When being towed in an empty state, such as being delivered to a dealership from the factory (no water, LPG, battery, or cargo), the trailer may begin to sway. This swaying action could occur without warning and lead to a loss of control of the tow vehicle/trailer combination. Correction: Dealers will install 180lbs of ballast to the coupler area.
