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

Plain-English summary

DRV Suites is recalling certain model year 2017 Full House recreational trailers, specifically models JX450, LX410, LX450, and LX455. These vehicles were manufactured between August 29, 2016, and November 30, 2016.
