203 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the laminated plastic touch pad on the top of the power tongue jack may crack and/or separate. This could result in water entering the internal circuitry of the touch pad, potentially causing unintended extension or retraction of the power tongue jack. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, it could result in loss of control and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the "Smart Jack" power tongue jack assembly with an updated version with improved water protection.
- Suspension#2017292
6 units affected
On certain travel trailers, an incorrectly sized equalizer was mounted to the center axle hanger. This could lead to premature failure of the equalizer and/or axle springs which could result in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove the incorrect equalizer and replace it with the correct equalizer.
- Accessories#2017191
5 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the side patio deck bar lock may have been manufactured with incorrect fasteners. If the fasteners were to fail, the patio would drop down without warning while the vehicle is parked or in transit. If this occurs, it could cause injury to bystanders or increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fasteners.
- Structure#2017092
15 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the hinge assemblies of the rear cargo door may have been manufactured incorrectly. The weld on the hinge assembly had been ground down during manufacturing to ensure clearance when installed on a door. The grinding of the weld weakened the joint and, as a result, if the door were to be opened and the hinge assembly were to fail, the door could come down with more force than normal, increasing the risk of injury to a person standing nearby. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hinge assembly and replace as necessary.
- Accessories#2016656
316 units affected
On certain travel trailers manufactured with a Christianson Industries exterior foldable ladder, the ladder's mounting bracket could separate from the hinge due to an incorrect weld. This could result in the ladder separating from the vehicle, which if an individual were to be utilizing the ladder, it could lead to an increased risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges to secure the hinge and mounting bracket.
