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: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wheel separation) that explicitly cites the risk of serious injuries and crashes, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Crossroads RV is recalling certain model year 2012 Rushmore and Elevation recreational vehicles manufactured between June 1, 2011, and January 12, 2012. These vehicles were manufactured with incorrect wheel center caps on Panther style 16-inch 8-lug aluminum wheels. The incorrect center caps do not provide adequate clearance to allow the wheel to fully seat on the hub face of the axle.

This defect can result in a wheel becoming loose and potentially coming off the trailer. A wheel separation can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or damage to others. The recall affects 172 vehicles.

Crossroads RV will notify owners and replace the center caps free of charge. The safety recall began on March 12, 2012. Owners may contact Crossroads RV at 1-888-226-7496 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
