On certain travel trailers, the lock for the side ramp door may not properly be latched by the operator, could fail to lock and/or the attaching hardware could come loose. Any of these three possibilities could result in the door opening upwards while in transit. Should this occur, the door could impact bystanders or objects, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install an exterior latch assembly.
On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a Suburban furnace, the furnace exhaust vent may have been omitted during assembly. The lack of the exhaust vent allows furnace combustion products containing carbon monoxide fumes to vent into the living space of the trailer rather than to the exterior, which could result in serious injury or death. Corrections: Dealers will inspect and, if required, correct the exhaust vent.
