What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Fifth Wheel Northpoint 387RDFS(LZ) recreational trailers. The welds on the axle spindle may fail, causing the wheel/spindle assembly to break away from the axle tube.

The risk

If the wheel/spindle assembly separates from the axle tube, it can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axle, and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 30, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-617-776-0344. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901526.

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.
