The issue
On certain fifth wheel 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.
Description (français)
Dans certaines roulottes à sellette munies d'une échelle pliable extérieure Christianson Industries, le support de montage de l'échelle pourrait se séparer de la charnière en raison d'une mauvaise soudure. Par conséquent, l'échelle pourrait se séparer du véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures ou de dommages matériels (ou les deux) si une personne utilisait l'échelle. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront installer un renfort de charnière sur l'arrière des charnières existantes afin de fixer en place la charnière et le support de montage.
