The contact owns a 2024 Forest River Sandpiper. The contact stated that while the RV was parked, the rear of the RV became detached and inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

The ladder bracket attached to the rear of the RV was not installed into anything structural it was only attached to the RV fiberglass using 4 small screws. When I attempted to climb onto the roof the bracket broke off the RV causing me to fall appx 8-10 to the ground. I was injured as a result of the fall and I needed to go to an Emergency Room for tests and treatment. This ladder is extremely unsafe and will cause bodily harm possibly death to anyone that uses it.
