Christianson recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Christianson Industries, Inc. (Christianson) is recalling certain aluminum black ladders manufactured July 8, 2014 to August 31, 2015, sold for installation on Toy Hauler recreational vehicles. The affected ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.
What could happen
If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Christianson will notify the purchasers of the ladders and provide a repair kit for the ladders for dealers to install, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2016. Owners may contact Christianson's customer service number at 1-269-663-8502.
