2001–2002 Skyline Aljo & 2001–2002 Skyline Layton + 1 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain "sportwagon" travel and fifth wheel trailers, the screws used to attach the lift bed support bracket to the wood bed frame are too short.
💥 The risk
The bed CAN separate from the support bracket, increasing the risk of injury to occupants in the bed or underneath the bed.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install three 3/8" carriage bolts per support bracket. Owner notification began february 3, 2003. 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 skyline at 1-800-733-4250.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
