Issue: On certain RV trailers, the hidden hinges for the ramp door may fail. If this happens, the ramp door could break when loading or unloading items into the rear garage area. Safety Risk: A ramp door that breaks when loading or unloading items in the rear garage could increase the risk of injury. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Forest River recommends that you shouldn't use the ramp door until the recall repairs have been completed. Forest River will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your RV trailer to a dealership to install support brackets for the ramp door.
