ISSUE
If service should become necessary on a bed extender, separate components are available which enable repairs without replacement of the entire unit.
Replacing the entire bed extender assembly, when it is only necessary to replace the affected component(s), is considered an over repair.
ACTION
Prior to replacing an entire bed extender assembly, examine it closely and determine if repairs can be made utilizing the components and replacement
instructions listed in this TSB. Determine also whether the complaint condition may be the result of an impact or customer abuse, as repairs for these
reasons may not be covered under warranty. Refer to the following service procedures.
