- Summary
- Vehicle description: fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with dexter axles that were manufactured with a bearing option known as nev-r-lube. The optional hub utilizes a sealed cartridge bearing which is held in place with a retaining ring that prevents the hub from shifting on the bearing. Some of these axle assemblies were produced without the retaining ring.
- Consequence
- The absence of the retaining ring can allow the hub to shift inward and may result in brake interference or tire contact to the vehicle structure. Braking problems can result in a loss of control of the vehicle. Tire contact to the vehicle structure can result in overheating and potentially lead to a fire or cause the tire to blowout.
- Remedy
- Dexter axle will inspect and repair the affected axles free of charge.
- Notes
- Dexter axle will notify owners. Owner notification began October 26, 2000.OWNERS who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact dexter axle at 800-400-2164 or sunnybrook RV at 1-219-825-5250.ALSO contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Sunnybrook been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Sunnybrook dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
