This notice is sent to ou in accordance with the re uirements of the National Traffic & Motor Vehicle Safet Act. Tri le E Recreational Vehicles has decided that certain 2020 Unit U24RL motorhomes manufactured between August 25, 2019 & May 15, 2020 fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
