Lippert Recalls 8K Axles Due to Incorrect Seal Assembly

Lippert is recalling certain 8K axles where hubs were assembled with grease seals instead of oil seals, causing oil leaks.

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 (axle assembly) that can lead to wheel loss and a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Lippert is recalling certain 8K axles. The axle hubs were incorrectly assembled with a grease seal rather than an oil seal, which causes oil to leak. A full list of affected part numbers is available in the 573 Safety Recall Report.

The loss of lubrication can cause bearing failure and wheel loss, increasing the risk of a crash.

Lippert will replace the axle hubs free of charge. Affected vehicle manufacturers will be notified on May 1, 2026. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514.
