- The problem
- On camping trailers equipped with lift systems provided by goshen stamping company and winches supplied by dutton-lainson company. The winches included in the roof lifter systems of some of these trailers have an inadequate weld to the gear, so that a raised roof could descend rapidly.
- The risk
- The rapidly descending roof could result in property damage or serious personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the lifter system and replace any defective winch. Owner notification began february 7, 2002. 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 starcraft at 1-219-593-2550.
