2006 Bigfoot B-21 FB

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE HITCH TONGUE LOAD MAY BE INSUFFICIENT. WHEN THE TRAILER IS TOWED IN A DRY CONDITION, I.E., NO WATER, LIQUID PROPANE GAS, BATTERY, OR CARGO, IN AN EMPTY STATE, THE TRAILER MAY BEGIN TO SWAY.

Risk. THIS MAY OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TOW VEHICLE/TRAILER COMBINATION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A HEAVIER STRUCTURAL SECTION IN THE COUPLER AREA AND AN ADD-ON KIT TO SUPPLEMENT THE TONGUE LOAD. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 9, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BIG FOOT AT 1-250-546-2155.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 BIGFOOT B-21 FB TRAILER. WHEN CAMPING AND USING THE FRESH WATER FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THE USED WATER IS THEN TRANSFERRED TO THE REAR OF THE TRAILER. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE TRAILER TO BECOME UNBALANCED AND TO SWAY WHILE DRIVING. RECALL # 07V060000 (TRAILER HITCHES) WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY FOR THIS FAILURE IS TO ADD MORE WEIGHT TO THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TRAILER IS FULLY LOADED, TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE HITCH WILL CAUSE IT TO FAIL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. NO OTHER VEHICLE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.
