What is wrong
Ring Power Corporation (Ring Power) is recalling certain 2020 Terex General 65, 2020-2021 C6000, 2020-2022 C4000, and TC55 vehicles. The incorrect pintle hitch may have been installed without reinforced bracing, resulting in the rear bumper hitch plate bending.
The risk
The pintle hitch may fail, causing a loss of trailer control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Why hitch defects matter: If a hitch fails, the trailer can separate from the tow vehicle and strike other road users.
The remedy
Ring Power will inspect, replace the pintle hitch, and install bracing. Damaged bumpers will be replaced. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 16, 2026. Owners may contact Ring Power's customer service at 904-613-0035. Ring Power's number for this recall is 23402.
About the trailer hitch
A hitch connects a trailer to the tow vehicle; its welds, mounts and coupling hardware carry the full trailer load.

- Do not tow with the affected hitch until it has been inspected or repaired, and always connect the safety chains.
- Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
