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 (axle/hub separation) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Highland Ridge RV is recalling certain 2019 Highland Ridge Open Range Ultra Lite, Mesa Ridge, and Open Range Lite travel trailers. The recall involves the rear axle assembly where the hubs may be missing inner bearing races.

This defect can cause the bearing to burn out or the hub to overheat. Premature hub bearing failure may result in the separation of the hub from the axle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Highland Ridge will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective hubs with new hubs or replace the axles free of charge. The recall began on October 18, 2018. Owners may contact Highland Ridge customer service at 1-260-768-7771 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
