What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that creates a risk of injury to individuals in the door's path, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

MORryde International, Inc. is recalling certain Zero G Ramp Door hinges manufactured between August 21, 2016, and December 12, 2016. The recall involves approximately 2,500 units. The defect involves insufficient welds on the hinge pin and hinge plate, which may cause the top of the door to swing down with more force than normal.

If the door does not open as expected, there is an increased risk of injury to individuals in the door's path. MORryde will notify the trailer manufacturers that purchased the affected hinges. These manufacturers will then notify owners to inspect and replace the insufficient welds on the hinges free of charge. The recall began on December 21, 2016.
