DRV Suites is recalling 15 model year 2015-2016 Full House trailers, models JX450, LX450, LX455 and TX500, manufactured October 31, 2014, to August 20, 2015, equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries.
The affected ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
DRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of existing hinges, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2016.
Owners may contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500. DRV's number for this recall is 99-02-06.
