- Summary
- The 5th wheel trailer frame rails are fabricated from I beams. The web of these beams can crack above the axle attachments.
- Consequence
- Cracking of the frame rails above the axle attachment can cause control problems for the tow vehicle operator.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the frames of these trailers. If cracks are detected, the area will be welded and a plate will be placed over the area using 1/4" flat steel. Rerouting of the holding tank drain pipes may be necessary on some models.

Has your Shasta 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 Shasta dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
