The hazard
On certain travel trailers, reinforcement stiffeners may not have been installed on the exterior of the I-beam, which could cause it to twist or break under excessive side load. This could result in misaligned axles and/or overloading of the suspension causing poor vehicle handling, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install the missing reinforcement stiffeners.
