Peel that sticker off your hitch and Ford will make you pay!

[Meagdog]

I was cleaning the area around my hitch the other day, getting ready to put on the Mabett bumper hitch cover, and I noticed a warning sticker on the top of the hitch -

It was put on pretty shoddy, off center, so I peeled it off, cleaned the top of the hitch and moved on. Earlier today, while looking up some other parts, I looked it up on the Ford Parts website to see what a replacement sticker/decal would cost.

$39.50 !!!

This thing is about 1 3/4" wide and maybe an inch high, so that's some expensive real estate.
You've probably seen it on the top of your hitch, and never thought about it, but if you like it on there, hope it doesn't ever come loose. Even worse, a gang of sticker thieves might steal it and resell it on Craigslist.

This turned into the strangest thread ever.

How would Ford ever find out? What does it mean?

It's the part number of the hitch

I've worked on warning stickers before and can tell you that spending $50,000 to approve one is not much. Between Engineering and lawyers time. Not cheap
