The affected ladders have retractable hinges, each with a welded 'top hat' that can separate from the hinge.

The risk

If the hinges separate from the ladder while in use, the ladder may fall from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix

Cruiser will notify owners, and dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2016. Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-260-562-3500. Cruiser's number for this recall is 99-03-11.

The risk

The fix

The defect

Cruiser RV (Cruiser) is recalling certain model year 2016 Stryker Toy and Stryker Toy Hauler trailers manufactured July 21, 2014, to January 9, 2015, and equipped with an optional slide floor. In the affected trailers, the slide floor can be flipped up to access the storage space underneath. If the floor is flipped up while the trailer is stationary, the trailer occupants may be exposed to exhaust fumes from the generator or fumes from the exterior fueling station.

The risk

If the optional slide floor is opened and the occupants are exposed to fumes, there is an increased risk of injury.

The fix

Cruiser will notify owners, and dealers will secure the slide floor so that it cannot be opened, completely sealing it from the occupant space, free of charge. The recall began April 14, 2015. Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-866-277-5630.

The defect

Cruiser RV (Cruiser) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Stryker travel trailers, models ST3316, STG3112 and STG3212, manufactured December 11, 2015, to March 10, 2016. The affected vehicles are equipped with safety chains on the A-frame that are rated for 11,700 lbs instead of being rated equal to, or greater than, the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the travel trailer.

The risk

In the event the main trailer connection fails, the weight of the trailer can break the safety chains if the chains are not strong enough, allowing the trailer to separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Cruiser will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing safety chains with chains that have a 16,200lb rating, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2016. Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-260-562-3500.
