NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 95V154000.
Defect 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.
Safety 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.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
