Details

What's wrong: On recreational 5th wheel trailers, the 1" by 1" steel angle, located on the front and rear of the axle plate, which helps eliminate side to side movement of the axle plate, may not have been welded properly or may have been welded in an improper location.

Why it matters: The steel angle may come loose from either side of the axle plate and drag or separate completely from the vehicle causing premature tire wear increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owner notification began April 30, 2004.
