The issue
On certain travel trailers and fifth wheels, the wheel hubs may have been manufactured with defective wheel studs, which could cause a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the travel trailer and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the defective hubs.
Description (français)
Sur certaines roulottes à sellette et caravanes classiques, les moyeux de roue pourraient avoir été fabriqués avec des goujons de roue défectueux, ce qui pourrait causer le détachement d'une roue ou plus de la caravane classique et une perte de contrôle du véhicule. Cela augmenterait les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, au besoin, remplacer les moyeux défectueux.
