What is wrong
ON CERTAIN "SPORTWAGON" TRAVEL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, THE SCREWS USED TO ATTACH THE LIFT BED SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE WOOD BED FRAME ARE TOO SHORT.
What can happen
THE BED CAN SEPARATE FROM THE SUPPORT BRACKET, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS IN THE BED OR UNDERNEATH THE BED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THREE 3/8" CARRIAGE BOLTS PER SUPPORT BRACKET. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 3, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-733-4250.

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.
