Summary
On certain folding camping trailers (fct) equipped with a power winch unit, model P55000, built by carefree of colorado, an incorrect material was used in the manufacture of the cable shafts on some of these power winch 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
Hi-lo is working with carefree of colorado to have new cable shafts installed free of charge (please see 07E077).. The recall began on December 14, 2007. Owners may contact carefree of colorado at 1-800-621-2617 or hi-lo trailers at 1-419-886-0066.

Customers may also 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 HI-LO 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 HI-LO dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
