The defect
Cruiser RV (Cruiser) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Stryker toy hauler trailers manufactured June 12, 2014, to August 27, 2015, 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.
The risk
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Cruiser will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016. Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-260-562-3500. Cruiser's number for this recall is 99-03-11.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
