Notice (English)
On certain motorhomes, the hinge assemblies of the rear cargo door may have been manufactured incorrectly. The weld on the hinge assembly had been ground down during manufacturing to ensure clearance when installed on a door. The grinding of the weld weakened the joint and, as a result, if the door were to be opened and the hinge assembly were to fail, the door could come down with more force than normal, increasing the risk of injury to a person standing nearby. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hinge assembly and replace as necessary.
Avis (français)
L'ensemble de charnières de la porte de cargaison arrière de certaines autocaravanes pourraient avoir été mal fabriqué. En effet, la soudure sur la charnière a été meulée durant la fabrication pour assurer un jeu lors de l'installation de la porte. Le meulage de la soudure a affaibli le joint; si la porte est ouverte et que la charnière lâche, elle pourrait descendre plus rapidement qu'attendu, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures pour les individus qui se trouvent à proximité. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent inspecter l'ensemble de charnières et le remplacer au besoin.
