Defect
On certain 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.
Safety risk
A person could be injured should the step give way while being used to enter or exit the trailer.
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 manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact cedar creek, puma, or sabre at 1-574-389-4600.
