Lippert recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Lippert Components, Inc. (Lippert) is recalling certain Axle Hubs, part number 122093, manufactured March 12, 2015, to March 26, 2015, and axle hubs, part number 122093, 122096, and 126003, manufactured from March 13, 2015, and April 15, 2015. The affected axle hubs have wheel mounting studs that may fail.
What could happen
If the wheel studs break while the trailer is being used, wheel separation may occur, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Lippert has notified the trailer manufacturers that purchased the axles built with the affected hubs. The trailer manufacturers will notify the vehicle owners and their dealers will replace the hubs with hubs from a different supplier, free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2015.
