What's wrong?
The coupler on a 2009-2024 Oliver Travel Trailers Legacy Elite Ii trailer is the hitch part that locks onto the tow vehicle's ball. It has to carry the trailer's rated load while the trailer accelerates, brakes, turns, and moves over uneven pavement. On this model, the intended Bulldog coupler is rated and stamped for 7000 LB.
The problem is the wrong coupler was installed on affected trailers. Oliver Travel Trailers found units with a 5000 LB coupler where the trailer specification called for the 7000 LB part. Because that coupler is under rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, normal towing loads can overstress it and the coupler can fail.
Owners can inspect the coupler stamp and look for visible deterioration around the coupler. A rating stamp below 7000 LB is the warning sign called out for this recall.

What's the safety risk?

Check for visible coupler deterioration or a rating stamp below 7000 LB, and avoid towing until the dealer confirms the trailer has the correct coupler. Repair is free at any franchised Oliver Travel Trailers dealer.
