What is wrong
THE COMPONENTS IN QUESTION ARE THE FOUR CHAIN ATTACHING POINTS ON THE ELEVATOR PLATFORM TO THE COACH FRAME. THE FUNCTION OF THESE CHAINS IS TO RAISE AND LOWER THE ELEVATOR VIA A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER. COMPONENTS COULD EXPERIENCE PREMATURE FATIGUE FAILURE, IF NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED AND MAINTAINED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
A NEW ATTACHING SYSTEM WITH HIGHER STRENGTH MATERIALS WILL BE INSTALLED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
