Mckenzie Lakota Estate Fifth Wheel: Structure
Affects Mckenzie Lakota Estate Fifth Wheel · 2007 — about 4 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain fifth wheel trailers, the adapter bracket for the slideroom actuator may rub against the tires when the vehicle is loaded and driven over bumps. As a result, the tires may suffer damage in the tread area which, over time, could cause a blow-out. This would result in poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash, causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will trim the square corner of the lower rear part of the bracket to a radius thus giving clearance to the tires.
