Problem: 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 tripping.
Risk: Should the cable shaft break, the fct top could then free-fall into the lower position, possibly resulting in injuries.
