Plain-English summary
Lippert is recalling certain MTP 20K Surge Brake Couplers with part number 2023050981. These couplers may have an incorrect label stating a capacity of 20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) when the accurate capacity is 19,000 lbs. GVWR. This discrepancy can allow the brake system to be overloaded, causing the couplers to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and electric brake systems."
An overloaded brake system can cause brake failure, which increases the risk of a crash. Vehicle manufacturers were notified of the issue on March 22, 2024.
Lippert will replace the labels free of charge. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
