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.
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.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and tightening of grease fittings.
Replacement of grease fittings.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
