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.

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.
