What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Highland Ridge RV (Highland) is recalling certain model year 2016 Mesa Ridge, 3X, and Roamer travel trailers and fifth wheels, models 367FB, 388RKS, and 427BHS, manufactured from April 27, 2015, to May 6, 2015. In the affected trailers, the studs that are used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs may break.

The risk

If the wheel studs break, the wheel could detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Highland will notify owners, and dealers will replace any affected wheel hub, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Highland customer service at 1-260-768-7771. Highland's numbers for this recall are 9904237 and 9904238.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.

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.
