Summary
On certain folding camping trailers (fct) equipped with a powerwinch unit, model P55000, built by carefree of colorado and additional aftermarket or dealer installed powerwinch units, an incorrect material was used in the manufacture of the cable shafts on some of these powerwinch units. Under certain circumstances while the folding camping trailer top is being lifted, if the winch is placed into a stall condition, the cable shaft may break prior to the fuse or circuit breaker tripping.
Consequence
Should the cable shaft break, the fct top could then free-fall into the lower position, possibly resulting in injuries.
Remedy
Viking dealers will repair these winches free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during October 2007. Owners may contact viking at 1-269-467-6321.

Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Viking been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Viking dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
