What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CROSSROADS RV IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 RUSHMORE AND ELEVATION RECREATIONAL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 1, 2011, THROUGH JANUARY 12, 2012, WITH PANTHER STYLE 16” 8-LUG ALUMINUM WHEELS. THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT WHEEL CENTER CAP. THE CENTER CAP THAT WAS ASSEMBLED WITH THE TRAILER DID NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO ALLOW THE WHEEL TO FULLY SEAT ON THE HUB FACE OF THE AXLE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A WHEEL BECOMING LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY COMING OFF OF THE TRAILER.

The risk

A WHEEL SEPARATION CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURIES, OR DAMAGE TO OTHERS.

The remedy

CROSSROADS RV WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND REPLACE THE CENTER CAPS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 12, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CROSSROADS RV AT 1-888-226-7496.

Notes

OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO <A HREF=HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV>HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV</A> .

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
