2022-2026 East To West Recall 26V020: Ramp Door Breakaway

Recall 26V020 covers 515 2022-2026 East To West fifth-wheel trailers for ramp-door failure. Repair is free at any franchised East To West dealer.

What's wrong?

The Lippert 3000 Series Hidden Hinge Ramp Door on affected 2022-2026 Takoda, Adrenaline, Riverstone, Work And Play, Chaparral, Phoenix, and Cedar Creek fifth wheel travel trailers is the fold down ramp used to load and unload powered sports vehicles. The hinge and door frame are supposed to hold the ramp door in place while the ramp carries the weight and movement of that vehicle. The door core, frame, and hinge work together so the ramp stays attached to the trailer body.

On these trailers, the ramp door design did not account for added dynamic forces during loading or unloading. Those forces can pull the door core away from the door frame. If the separation continues, the ramp door can break away from the frame while a vehicle is being moved on or off the trailer. The recall fix uses the original door and adds three support brackets to help keep the core attached to the frame.

There is no warning sign before failure. A ramp that looks usable can still be included, so the VIN decides whether this recall applies.

Who's affected?

Spans Takoda, Adrenaline, Riverstone, Work And Play, Chaparral, Phoenix, and Cedar Creek across the 2022-2026 model years; each is tied to the Lippert 3000 Series Hidden Hinge Ramp Door.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific RV.

What's the safety risk?

A ramp door that breaks during use raises the risk of injury. There is no warning sign before the ramp door breaks, so keep people clear of the ramp area during use and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised East To West dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2026 East To West Takoda, Adrenaline, Riverstone, Work And Play, Chaparral, Phoenix, or Cedar Creek fifth wheel travel trailer is included in this recall.
2. Contact a franchised East To West dealer to schedule the free ramp-door support bracket repair that adds support to the door frame.
3. Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 26V020 when you call.
4. Avoid loading or unloading vehicles on the ramp door until the support brackets are installed.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an East To West technician installs additional support brackets for the ramp door assembly so the door is better secured to the frame during loading and unloading. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid out of pocket for a related ramp door repair before the recall notice, the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and payment records to the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
