2015–2016 Drv Full House recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
DRV Suites (DRV) is recalling certain 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.
💥 The risk
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
DRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016. Owners may contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500. DRV's number for this recall is 99-02-06.
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.)
