Equipment adaptive/mobility
- What is wrong
- On certain handicap accessible vans built on ford e350 chassis with 6.0l diesel engines, accubuilt adds an additional positive lead wire from the dual vehicle batteries to the mobility lift for operating power. The end connections for the added power wire can become corroded which can cause increased heat generation in the wire and can melt the plastic coating and/or the plastic corrugated protective sheathing.
- Risk
- Heat generation could potentially melt the wire to connector joint and a fire could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy for this campaign. The recall is expected to begin on may 31, 2005. Owners may contact accubuilt at 419‑222‑8608.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Multiple brake failures on new trailer purchase in less than 500 miles. Trailer axle has been replaced due to manufacturing defect of heat treatment of axle spindles that were worn. Upon return the wheel grease seals leaked and hot wheel hub temperatures. Back to dealer and again serviced. 24 miles later brakes failed again. Trailer is again in dealer workshop. Dealer has confirmed verbally multiple customer incidents with similar product. Trailer was sold as package deal of boat and trailer from bayliner boat co.(brunswick corp. Is parent co.) the federal safety agency database does not list manufactuer of trailer which is karavan trailers inc. Po box 27 fox lake wi 53933
A letter was sent to me about a defected signal light which I had fixed twice prior to recieving the letter. I was under the impression that once the dealer fixed the defect it wouldn't be a problem again. Seven months later the signal light has messed up again. I am concern for my childrens safety.
I bought a car hauler trailer from az.tex trailers in fontana calif on 2/17/04. The brakes have been completely inadiquate although I have been back to the business three times in which they replaced all components of the brakes. I believe the brakes are of inferior quality and are practically useless. The trailer is rated at 7000 lbs. G.v.w. And the brakes will not remotely stop the load of the trailer,99% of stopping is done with my towing vehicle.
