Recall 2017485

The issue

On certain travel trailers, reinforcement stiffeners may not have been installed on the exterior of the I-beam, which could cause it to twist or break under excessive side load. This could result in misaligned axles and/or overloading of the suspension causing poor vehicle handling, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install the missing reinforcement stiffeners.

Description (français)

Sur certaines caravanes classiques, les raidisseurs de renfort pourraient ne pas avoir été posés sur l'extérieur de la poutre en I, et cette dernière pourrait se tordre ou se briser sous l'effet d'une charge latérale excessive. Cela pourrait modifier l'alignement des essieux ou faire surchauffer la suspension, ce qui pourrait modifier le comportement routier et augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront poser les raidisseurs de renfort manquants.
