Axles may have an improperly tightened grease fitting that can separate and cause damage, possibly resulting in wheel detachment

Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain 5200 and 6000 CURT RV axles. The axles may have an improperly tightened grease fitting that can separate and cause damage, possibly resulting in wheel detachment.

A detached wheel increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and repair, or replace the grease fittings, as necessary, free of charge. Lippert is expected to notify vehicle manufacturers in June 2023. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
