Many RVs Are Aftermarket Vehicles

An aftermarket vehicle is one that has been modified from its original form. For example, many RVs are built on OEM (original equipment manufacturer) frames. In some cases, the entire vehicle is stripped to its shell and reassembled.

It is common in the creation of aftermarket vehicles for some components to be scrapped altogether. An aftermarket vehicle can be plagued with numerous safety problems.

The Dangers of Aftermarket Vehicles

RVs, trailers, car haulers and boat haulers are complicated pieces of machinery. There’s a lot that can go wrong. Here are the common causes of aftermarket vehicle accidents:

  • Inexperienced driver: Aftermarket RVs are often rented by motorists who have no experience driving anything bigger than a passenger car. A driver who is not familiar with the dimensions, handling and acceleration of an RV can crash into other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and fixed objects.
  • Defective product: A defect in an aftermarket car hauler, boat hauler, trailer or RV component can cause the vehicle to malfunction and lead to a serious accident. Faulty hitches, brakes and tires are often to blame.

If you are injured in an accident involving an aftermarket vehicle, it is essential that you retain experienced counsel. If you are the driver of an RV, and the vehicle malfunctions and causes an accident, a lawyer skilled in defective vehicle cases can help you.
