Holiday Rambler Corp.: Suspension
Holiday Rambler Corp. reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 16, 1995 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 783. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
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 remedy
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.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 95V154000.
