Recall 2019014

The issue

Issue: On certain travel trailers, the tires may come in contact with the rear floor support. If this were to happen during travel, it could damage the tires and cause poor vehicle handling. Safety Risk: A sudden change in vehicle handling or a tire failure could increase the risk of a loss of control that may result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the affected floor support modified to allow for additional clearance for the tire. The tires should also be inspected for any damage.

Description (français)

Problème : Sur certaines caravanes classiques, les pneus peuvent entrer en contact avec le support arrière du plancher. Si cela se produisait pendant un déplacement, cela pourrait endommager les pneus et nuire au comportement du véhicule. Risque pour la sécurité : Un changement soudain du comportement du véhicule ou la défaillance d'un pneu pourrait augmenter le risque d'une perte de contrôle, d'où un accident possible susceptible d'entraîner des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Mesures correctives : L'entreprise va informer les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'apporter leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire qui modifiera le support de planché visé, laissant ainsi suffisamment de place aux pneus. Il faudrait aussi s'assurer que les pneus n'ont pas été endommagés.
