Summary of the Safety Concern:
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON THE WORKHORSE W22 CHASSIS, THE DROP DOWN BRACKETS USED TO ATTACH THE HITCH TO THE FRAME RAIL EXTENSIONS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE. |
||
|
Consequence:
IN THE EVENT THAT THESE ANGLE BRACKETS WOULD FAIL, THE HITCH AND THE TOW VEHICLE COULD BECOME DISLODGED FROM THE MOTOR HOME INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
GULF STREAM HAS DEVELOPED A REPAIR KIT CONSISTING OF STEEL BRACKETS, SPACERS, AND MECHANICAL FASTENERS. THIS KIT CAN BE SENT DIRECTLY TO YOU OR TO A REPAIR FACILITY OF YOUR CHOOSING. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING SEPTEMBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GULF STREAM AT 1-800-482-6456, EXT. 3743. |
