| Description of the problem | The entry steps on my minnie winnie are tearing away from the mounting bracket. Actually the bracket itself, which is about 3/16" thick by 11 3/4" long is ripping at the bend from vertical to horizontal. Both sides have 4" tears in the front portion. I will email digital photos. This presents a safety hazard as a person using the steps at time of complete failure, will fall from as much as 18" in the air to the ground. |
