Lippert 7000LB Brake Axle, Lippert 8000LB Brake Axle: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 23E050000 · 14K units potentially affected · filed Jul 5, 2023
What's 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.
Why it matters
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.
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.
