What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 travel trailers and fifth wheels have rear axle wheel studs that can break, which attach the wheels to the axle hubs. The defect affects trailers built between April 27, 2015, and May 6, 2015.
If a wheel stud breaks, the wheel could detach from the trailer while it is in use, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should take this risk seriously and check whether their trailer is affected.
The repair is free. Highland will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will replace any affected wheel hub at no cost. Owners can contact Highland customer service at 1-260-768-7771 and should check their VIN for open recalls.
