Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles 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.

Why it matters: If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016.
