Certain travel trailers were manufactured with axles that may not provide the proper tire sidewall clearance to the travel trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft. If the proper tire sidewall clearance is not maintained, the tire could rub on the trailer wheel well or slide room cross shaft and result in a tire failure. A tire failure could result in a loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, modify the wheel well and/or slide room cross shaft to allow for proper clearance. In addition, axle hub face spacers will be utilized, as needed, to assure that the minimum allowable clearance is achieved.

Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers were equipped with a fuel shut-off switch which is not spark protected. This switch is mounted in the nozzle storage compartment of the fuel dispensing system. Gasoline spilled on the switch, or gasoline vapours which may build-up in the vicinity of the switch during dispensing functions, may create a risk of fire or explosion if a spark is generated by the switch. The resulting fire or explosion could cause serious burns and possibly death. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing fuel shut-off switch and install an ignition-protected switch.
