DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

Posted on: 1991-04-22

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

Corrective Action
Replace rear axle assemblies with full-floating rear axle assemblies.  Also, literature will be circulated cautioning vehicle owners not to overload the micro-mini motorhomes.
