NHTSA campaign 18V059, reported January 16, 2018, 62 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The laminated plastic touch pad on the power tongue jack can crack or separate, allowing water to enter. Water can cause the jack to operate unintentionally, so it may retract or extend on its own.

If the jack moves unexpectedly, it can injure people inside the trailer. It can also increase the risk of a crash if the jack moves while the trailer is being towed.

Liberty Outdoors will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power tongue jack free of charge. You can contact Liberty customer service at 1-877-545-4897 and reference recall number LOR-001. You can also check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
