Recall Details

On certain vehicles, the warning label located on the front of the upper bunk may deform, rendering the text unreadable. The label warns users that the upper bunk is not to be used while the vehicle is moving, that the bunk is to be latched in the stored and upright position when not in use, and that all front restraint buckles are to be fastened when the bunk is in the down position. It also specified the maximum weight limit of the upper bunk. If the warning label text is not readable and the user has no notice of these safety recommendations, an occupant may be injured in a crash or upon sudden vehicle deceleration. Correction: Dealers will replace the upper bunk warning label.
