Recall 95V-154: 1994–1995 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite, 1994 Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite 35Csso and 2 more
HOLIDAY RAMBLER CORP. recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Aug 16, 1995, covering about 783 vehicles.
The problem
The storage compartment at the rear of the unit does not have a specified storage weight limitation and can therefore be loaded beyond the manufacturer's intentions. Also some units were designed with a fresh water tank located at the rear of the unit. As a result, these trailers exhibit reduced stability while being towed.
The risk
Overloading of the rear storage compartment especially with a full, rear-mounted fresh water tank, can cause reduced trailer stability and increase the potential for an accident.
The fix
Dealers will place a label on the storage compartment to indicate the maximum storage weight capacity, will relocate the fresh water tank on the affected models, and install a "hensley arrow" hitch which will provide a better towing stability. The "hensley arrow" hitch will not be a required part for the remedy on the 1995 aluma-lite 31cfs travel trailer due to the unit's shorter length.
