ON CERTAIN "SPORTWAGON" TRAVEL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS, THE SCREWS USED TO ATTACH THE LIFT BED SUPPORT BRACKET TO THE WOOD BED FRAME ARE TOO SHORT.
THE BED CAN SEPARATE FROM THE SUPPORT BRACKET, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO OCCUPANTS IN THE BED OR UNDERNEATH THE BED.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THREE 3/8" CARRIAGE BOLTS PER SUPPORT BRACKET. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 3, 2003. 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 SKYLINE AT 1-800-733-4250.
