NHTSA recall 07V514000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain folding camping trailers (fct) equipped with a power winch unit, model p55000, built by carefree of colorado, an incorrect material was used in the manufacture of the cable shafts on some of these power winch units. Under certain circumstances while the folding camping trailer top is being lifted, if the winch is placed into a stall condition, the cable shaft may break prior to the fuse or circuit breaker…
Why it matters: Should the cable shaft break, the fct top could then free-fall into the lower position, possibly resulting in injuries.
The fix: Forest river is working with carefree of colorado and will install new cable shafts free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2007.
