The issue
On certain travel trailers, a supporting crossmember was incorrectly modified during vehicle assembly. As a result, the main frame I-beams could develop stress cracks and fail. This could lead to poor vehicle handling characteristics which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reinforce the frame crossmember.
Description (français)
Sur certaines caravanes classiques, une traverse de soutien a été mal modifiée pendant le montage du véhicule. En conséquence, les poutres en I du châssis principal pourraient se fissurer par contrainte et faire défaut, ce qui pourrait nuire au comportement routier du véhicule et causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, si nécessaire, renforcer la traverse de châssis.
