What this recall means for you
This recall covers certain 2016 Karavan KPSD trailers built between September 29, 2015, and March 29, 2016. The axle spindle flange on these trailers may bend, which can cause the tires to sit at an abnormal angle (camber) and wear unevenly and excessively.
Excessive tire wear can lead to tire failure while the trailer is in use, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should watch for unusual or accelerated tire wear and address the issue promptly.
Karavan will notify owners, and the remedy is free: an authorized dealer will replace the axle assembly at no charge. Owners can contact Karavan customer service at 1-920-928-6200 for more information. You can also check your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
