The defect
On certain travel and fifth wheel trailers equipped with hickory springs "big easy triple steps," an improper engagement of the bottom step pivot arm with the formed stop edge of the middle step support bracket can result in the bottom step rotating to an unsafe downward angle.
The risk
A person could be injured should the step give way while being used to enter or exit the trailer.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect the trailers for the manufacturing date sticker to verify the date of production of the step and, if necessary, will weld stock to each side of the lower (triple) step stop edges. the recall began on may 11, 2007. owners may contact teton homes at 1-307-235-1525.
