CURT WARRANTY
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages. If such exclusions or
limitations are prohibited under the applicable law, the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may
also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
The Purchaser, when returning a CURT Product, must
observe the following steps:
1. The Purchaser must have proof of purchase of any damaged
Product and supply the same to the headquarters of CURT.
The Purchaser must obtain from CURT (toll free number is
877-CURTMFG (877.287.8634)) a Returned Goods Authorization
(RGA) number in order to return any damaged Product to CURT
for inspection and evaluation under this Limited Warranty.
2. The Purchaser must pay all handling charges and shipping
costs to deliver Products to CURT and must send the damaged
Product along with the RGA number and proof of purchase
to CURT at 6208 Industrial Drive, Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701.
3. Upon receipt of damaged Product, CURT will determine
whether the damaged Product is covered under the Limited
Warranty. If it is, CURT will repair or replace the Product.
If the Product is replaced, the Product that is originally
returned by the Purchaser shall become the exclusive
property of CURT. If the returned Product is not covered
under the Limited Warranty, CURT will notify the Purchaser
before taking any further action with regard to repair or
replacement, which would be at the Purchaser's cost.
LIMITATION ON WARRANTY
CURT's obligation under the above warranty is limited to
repair or replacement of the CURT Product (Product), at
its option due to a manufacturing defect of the Product.
CURT shall not be liable for the loss of or use of vehicles,
loss of or damage to personal property, expenses such as
telephone, lodging, gasoline, towing, tire damage or any
other incidental or consequential damages incurred by the
Purchaser, or any other person or entity.
CURT will examine the returned Product. If CURT, in its
exclusive discretion, determines that the defect or damaged
Product is covered under this limited warranty, CURT will
repair the Product or replace it at that time.
Alterations to or misuse of the Product will void the warranty.
For example, overloading or exceeding an automobile or
trailer manufacturers' weight ratings, or maneuvering motor
vehicles equipped with Products at improper rate of speed,
shall void the warranty on any of the Products. Failure
to properly maintain and regularly inspect the Product
according to the specific instruction sheet accompanying
each Product shall also void the warranty.
CURT Manufacturing, LLC (CURT) warrants to the original
purchaser (Purchaser), its products to be free from defect under
normal use and service, ordinary wear and tear excepted, for the
warranty period stated below, from the date of the original retail
purchase, but subject to the limitations as set forth below.
Verify adequate turning clearance between
the truck cab / box corners and trailer(s).
Check truck box clearance. There should be a
minimum clearance of 6" between the bottom of
the trailer(s) overhang and the top of the box sides.
Verify all anchors are properly installed
and secured with lynch pins.
Verify the trailer safety chain length. Too much slack
in the chain may prevent maintaining control in the
event of separation. Leave only enough slack to allow
full turning without interference.
Verify the trailer attachments to the safety chain
anchors are secure (cannot be shaken free during towing).
Ensure the safety chains and hooks are
rated to the load capacity of the trailer.
Ensure all fasteners are tight and that all structural
components are sound. Note: Do not tow trailer with
worn or damaged parts.
Attach trailer chains securely to 60617 safety chain anchors.
Ensure the trailer weight does not exceed any part
of the towing system. Be sure load is heavier towards
front of the trailer while not exceeding the hitch vertical
weight rating. Be sure trailer load is secured to prevent
shifting and centered from left to right. Note: Never load
the trailer heavier behind the trailer axle(s).
Check tires to ensure they are inflated to the proper
specification. Follow vehicle and trailer recommendations.
Verify trailer lights, electric brakes and
breakaway switches are working properly.
