⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Contact the seller for warranty service if the hitch exhibits manufacturing defects, such as cracks in the steel structure, poor welds, clearly misaligned factory mounting holes, or if excessive rust appears very quickly under normal use, indicating a failure in the anti-corrosion treatment. Issues arising without misuse or incorrect installation that cannot be resolved with maintenance tips are eligible.
