Details

What's wrong: Certain fifth wheel travel trailers have missing welds on the chassis cross-members.

Why it matters: This condition can cause the cross-member to become dislodged, creating a road hazard if the fifth wheel travel trailer is in motion, which could result in a crash.

The fix: Lippert components, in conjunction with fleetwood, will inspect the cross-members for missing welds, repair the welds if necessary, and add additional support to the affected area.
