Lippert recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain Curt 7000 and 8000 lb axles. The U-bolts may have been improperly tightened, which can cause the axle to move out of position.
What could happen
An axle that moves out of position can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will tighten the U-bolts, free of charge. Lippert will notify RV manufacturers in July 2023. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514.
