Do Both The Curt And Draw Tite Receivers Require The Exhaust Hanger To Be Bent On a 2017 Honda Fit?
Updated 08/07/2021 | Published 08/06/2021
Question:
Will I need to bend the exhaust hangers for the Curt hitch # C11406 for my 2017 Honda Fit. I see in the questions and reviews that it is necessary for the Draw Tite sport frame that goes with a 2017 Fit but did not see any mention of it for the Curt hitch.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11406 may also require that the exhaust hanger on your 2017 Honda Fit to be bent as this is noted in the manufacturers instructions that I have linked below.
In looking through the reviews I am seeing that there are definitely complaints of this about the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24920. Per Draw-Tite's instructions that are also linked below bending the exhaust hanger is a mandatory step in the hitch installation.
