The problem
On certain travel trailers, approximately 6' back from the front of the tongue at the bend of the chassis, there is no supporting gusset.
The risk
The tongue can bend up, which can cause damage to the front of the trailer.
The fix
Dealers will install an 18" x 6" plate gusset on the inside of the main rail frame free of charge. The recall began on march 21, 2008. Owners may contact weekend warrior at 1-800-500-9914.
