What is wrong
THE USE OF THE DUAL WHEEL ADAPTOR ON THE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY MAY CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE REAR WHEEL BEARING AND AXLE. ALSO, THE REAR AXLE SHAFT COULD BREAK AT THE ROLLER BEARING, WITHOUT WARNING, ALLOWING THE REAR TIRE AND WHEEL TO ROLL FREE FROM THE MOTOR HOME.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REAR AXLES, BEARINGS, AND SEALS WILL BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, DUAL WHEELS WILL BE REPLACED WITH SINGLE SIDE WHEELS. MODIFICATIONS WILL BE PERFORMED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNERS.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
