What this recall means for you
When the black water holding tank is full, there may not be enough clearance between the rear axle and the tank. Contact between the axle and the tank can cause a hole, and the tank contents can spill onto the roadway, which increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will replace the axle with a drop axle that provides more clearance between the top of the axle tube and the black water holding tank.
