Defect description
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FOLDING CAMPERS. A FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE IS NOT CLAMPED IN A POSITION AWAY FROM THE TIRE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO CHAFFING OF THE HOSE CAUSING A LEAK OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Safety risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FOLD DOWN TRAILERS WHICH USE GAS/ELECTRIC ABSORPTION REFRIGERATORS SUPPLIED BY NORCOLD. THE SWIVEL NUT WHICH IS AN INTEGRAL CONNECTION COMPONENT OF A PRESSURE TAP DEVICE HAS "STRESS CORROSION CRACKING."
Safety risk
THIS CRACKING CAN LEAD TO AN OPEN FRACTURE IN THE BRASS NUT, POTENTIALLY ALLOWING PROPANE GAS TO LEAK.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE SWIVEL NUT/PRESSURE TAP COMPONENT AND REPLACE WITH A REMEDY KIT.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CAMPING TRAILERS. INADEQUATE STRENGTH OF THE BED BRACE ALLOWS THE BED TO COLLAPSE UNDER PRESSURE.
Safety risk
FAILURE OF THE BED BRACE TO SUPPORT BED WHEN OCCUPIED CAN LEAD TO POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY OF THE BED OCCUPANT.
Manufacturer remedy
