NHTSA recall 10V460000
Power Train · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with dexter axles. On some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.
Why it matters: These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and/or compromising the driver's control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Forest river is working with dexter axle and will inspect the axle serial number and replace it if it falls within the serial number range. Replacement of the axle will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on January 6, 2011.
