Service campaign REC-2402
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
On certain Model Z-Air Travel Trailers (total population of 7), the draw bars on the A-frames were built with under-sized steel members. The frame structure is constructed appropriately for expected usage but has minimal Safety Factor above the vehicles’ rated GVWR. Under certain dynamic loading conditions, the steel beams in the A-frame could yield. Over time, significant loading events could compromise a unit’s structural integrity if unaddressed. This is based on an internal design standard (elevated Safety Factor) used by the chassis supplier. There is no work instruction for this work, as the supplier reached out and completed this work through their internal service team, without having dealers or mobile techs complete any work. At the time of this submittal, all 7 units in the population have had the work completed.
The document
The document is the manufacturer's. This site does not hold it. NHTSA files a document at one of these two addresses; we have not asked NHTSA which.
