What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural suspension system defect (axle spindle welds) with confirmed failure risk. Although no incidents have been reported, potential wheel separation poses a clear risk of crash and serious injury.

Plain-English summary

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

If the wheel and spindle assembly separates from the axle tube, it can increase the risk of a crash. Approximately 735 trailers are affected by this recall.
