DEFECT #3 - SUSPENSION
Posted on: 1995-08-21
Description
The storage compartment at the rear of the unit does not have a specified storage weight limitation and can therefore be loaded beyond the manufacturer's intentions. Also some units were designed with a fresh water tank located at the rear of the unit. As a result, these trailers exhibit reduced stability while being towed.
Consequence
Overloading of the rear storage compartment especially with a full, rear-mounted fresh water tank, can cause reduced trailer stability and increase the potential for an accident.
Corrective Action
Dealers will place a label on the storage compartment to indicate the maximum storage weight capacity, will relocate the fresh water tank on the affected models, and install a hensley arrow hitch which will provide a better towing stability. The hensley arrow hitch will not be a required part for the remedy on the 1995 aluma-lite 31cfs travel trailer due to the unit's shorter length.
Notes
System: suspension.vehicle description: 31' and 35' travel trailers which have a storage compartment at the rear of the unit.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time,should contact holiday rambler at 1-800-685-6545.
