Suspension#2018376July 16, 2018
30 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the inner bearings on the axle may be incorrect and could seize. This could result in a wheel lock-up and increased drag on the tow vehicle, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

On certain travel trailers, the laminated plastic touch pad on the top of the power tongue jack may crack and/or separate.

If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, it could result in loss of control and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the "Smart Jack" power tongue jack assembly with an updated version with improved water protection.
