THIS COULD ALLOW THE BUNK TO FALL TO THE OPEN POSITION WITHOUT WARNING. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN THE LOWER BUNK, THAT PERSON COULD SUFFER INJURY FROM BEING STRUCK BY THE FALLING BUNK. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ATTACHMENT OF UPPER BUNK RESTRAINING STRAP TO THE UPPER BUNK AND REAR WALL OF THE SLEEPER AND INSTALL A NEW REDESIGNED BUNK RESTRAINING STRAP.
