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 where a ladder component may fall, creating a risk of injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.
Plain-English summary
DRV Suites is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Full House trailers, including models JX450, LX450, LX455, and TX500. These vehicles were manufactured between October 31, 2014, and August 20, 2015, and are equipped with aluminum black ladders manufactured by Christianson Industries.
The recall addresses a defect in the retractable hinges of the affected ladders. Each hinge features a welded 'top hat' component that can separate from the hinge. If this separation occurs while the ladder is in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury to users.
DRV will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges at no charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016. Owners can contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500 for more information. DRV's number for this recall is 99-02-06.
