What NHTSA recorded

Rear axle bearings may fail due to a bending moment created by the aftermarket dual rear wheels from a variety of factors and especially when overloaded. Failure of the bearings create stresses on the rear axle, resulting in the breakage of the axle.

Possible consequence

A broken axle will cause separation of the dual rearwheel assembly from the motorhome, causing loss of control which could result inan accident.

Remedy

Replace rear axle assemblies with full-floating rear axle assemblies.
