What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the wheel assembly may separate, posing a risk of injury or death and significant property damage, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

NU WA Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 Custom Campers HH II and model year 2006-2007 Custom Campers LS travel trailers. These vehicles are equipped with Lippert axle components that may contain mis-located welds attaching the axle spindle to the axle tube.

If the welds are mis-located, the spindle may partially or completely separate from the axle tube, causing the wheel and hub assembly to come off the vehicle. A separated tire and wheel assembly could strike other vehicles and/or pedestrians, risking injury or death, and/or cause significant property damage.

NU WA is working with Lippert to inspect and replace any defective axles free of charge. The safety recall began on September 18, 2010. Owners may contact Lippert Components, Inc.'s Axle Service & Warranty Department at 1-877-870-4900 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
