What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: insulated vans with bustin pullout truck/trailer ladder part nos. De1903-a and de1905-a. The cross bar that supports the step fails when welds that attach it to the square tube side supports fail.

Possible consequence

The support bar will fail to adequately support the step and an individual can fall from the ladder possibly resulting in personal injury.

Remedy

Bustin will replace any defect ladder free of charge. They have also developed a bolt-on support "the u-bolt" for field reinforcement of the ladder.
