NHTSA Recall 95V154000
NHTSA Campaign Id 95V154000; Date: Aug. 16, 1995
Overloading of the rear storage compartment especially with a full, rear-mounted fresh water tank, can cause reduced trailer stability and increase the potential for an accident.
Recalled Vehicles:
1994 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite; 1995 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite; 1994 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite 35csso; 1995 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite Custom 31 Cfs; 1995 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite Custom 35wcs
Component: Suspension
Manufactured by: Holiday Rambler Corp.
Affected Units:: 783
Recall Summary:
The storage compartment at the rear of the unit does not have a specified storage weight limitation and can therefore be loaded beyond the manufacturer's intentions. Also some units were designed with a fresh water tank located at the rear of the unit. As a result, these trailers exhibit reduced stability while being towed.
How to Fix:
Dealers will place a label on the storage compartment to indicate the maximum storage weight capacity, will relocate the fresh water tank on the affected models, and install a "hensley arrow" hitch which will provide a better towing stability. The "hensley arrow" hitch will not be a required part for the remedy on the 1995 aluma-lite 31cfs travel trailer due to the unit's shorter length.
Recall Notes:
System: suspension. Vehicle description: 31' and 35' travel trailers which have a storage compartment at the rear of the unit. Note: 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 holiday rambler at 1-800-685-6545. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
