Campaign:
95V154000 on 08/20/1995
Component:
Suspension
Manufactured:
07/31/1993 - 05/31/1995
Affected:
783
Defect:
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.
Correction:
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. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
04/30/1994 - 05/31/1995
Affected:
301
Defect:
The federal certification label overstates the gross axle weight rating (gawr) as 5,000 lbs. the correct gawr is 4,670 lbs. this does not conform to fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Consequence:
Consequence of non-compliance: the load rating for the tires and atires pressures designated on the federal certification label are not appropriate for the incorrectly stated gawr. incorrect tire and tire inflations can result in tire failure and possible vehicle accident.
Correction:
Owners will be sent replacement certification labels and instructions for replacing them. if they prefer, owners can have their dealers replace these labels for them.
