STRAPS HOLDING THE SLEEPER UPPER BUNK IN THE RAISED POSITION CAN RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING.
Safety risk
IF THE RESTRAINING STRAP RELEASES SUDDENLY, THE BUNKFALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN STRIKE AN OCCUPANT SITTING IN THE LOWER BUNK CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ATTACHMENT OF THE UPPER BUNK RESTRAINING STRAP TO THE UPPER BUNK AND REAR WALL OF THE SLEEPER AND INSTALL A NEW REDESIGNED BUNK RESTRAINING STRAP.
THE SWIVEL SEAT ASSEMBLY ATTACHMENTS BETWEEN THE UPPER AND LOWER PORTIONS ARE INADEQUATE TO INSURE THAT THE ASSEMBLY WILL STAY TOGETHER DURING NORMAL USE. VIBRATION CAN CAUSE THE ATTACHING BOLTS TO WORK LOOSE AND FALL OUT.
Safety risk
SHOULD THE BOLTS FALL OUT, THE SEAT SWIVEL ASSEMBLY WOULD SEPARATE. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT COULD CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW RE-DESIGNED SWIVEL MOUNT/STOP RING, A SPACER AND NEW LONGER MOUNTING BOLTS.
