The issue
Certain travel trailers equipped with the bedroom slide option #966. These travel trailers can experience towing instability at speeds in excess of 55 mph. If this situation is not controlled it could lead to a loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury and/or a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will equipped the travel trailer with steel plates along the chassis main rails in order to provide the maximum towing performance possible by optimizing the tongue load.
Description (français)
Vise certaines caravanes équipées de la chambrette expansible (option no 966). Ces caravanes peuvent devenir instables lorsque la vitesse de marche dépasse 55 mi/h. Si on ne reprend pas rapidement le contrôle, il se peut que la situation se détériore rapidement et que la caravane et le véhicule tracteur fassent une embardée, ce qui pourrait causer des blessures et des dommages matériels importants. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser des plaques d'acier le long des longerons principaux du châssis pour optimiser la charge sur la fourche d'attelage et améliorer la stabilité en marche de la caravane.
