Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lippert is recalling approximately 3,427 CURT RV axles, specifically the 5200 and 6000 models. These axles may have been manufactured with improperly tightened grease fittings that can loosen and separate during use. If a grease fitting falls out, it can cause damage that may lead to the entire wheel detaching from the vehicle while in motion. Dealers will inspect and either repair or replace the grease fittings as needed, free of charge.

Risk

A grease fitting that separates can cause damage to the axle assembly, potentially resulting in the wheel detaching from the RV. If a wheel detaches while the vehicle is being towed, it significantly increases the risk of a crash and property damage.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your RV is equipped with CURT 5200 or 6000 series axles manufactured by Lippert.
  2. Contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514 to determine if your specific axle unit is included in this recall.
  3. If your axle is affected, schedule an appointment with an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair or replacement of the grease fittings.
  4. For additional information or questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
