Lippert recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Lippert Components, Inc. (Lippert) is recalling certain Power Tongue Jacks, Smart Jack model 426514. These jacks are operated with a laminated plastic touch pad which can crack or separate allowing water to enter and cause the jack to automatically retract or extend without warning.
What could happen
If the jack retracts or extend unintentionally, it can increase the risk of injury to those within the trailer or increase the risk of a crash if the jack moves while the trailer is being towed.
The fix
Lippert will notify purchasers of the jacks and will replace the SMART Jack Power Tongue Jack, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2018. Owners may contact Lippert Customer Service at 1-574-538-4514 or via email [email protected] . Lipperts number for this recall is 2017-045-001.
