Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Dethleffs caravans have weak front axle parts. The springs and bell cranks may not hold up if the caravan is heavier than normal.

What's happening? These parts could break while driving. This can cause an accident or injury.

Does this affect me? If you own one of these caravans in Germany, Sweden, or Slovenia, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the caravan and ask your dealer or a mechanic for a check. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
