TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1983 NATIONAL RV TOYOTA DELUXE CAMPER (NA). THE CONTACT SEARCHED FOR RECALLS PERTAINING TO HIS VEHICLE AND CALLED THE NATIONAL RV MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES. HIS PHONE CALLS WERE NEVER RETURNED. HE WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE COMPANY HAD GONE BANKRUPT. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HIS VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 91V060000 (POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY). THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.
REAR AXLE BEARINGS MAY FAIL DUE TO A BENDING MOMENT CREATED BY THE AFTERMARKET DUAL REAR WHEELS FROM A VARIETY OF FACTORS AND ESPECIALLY WHEN OVERLOADED. FAILURE OF THE BEARINGS CREATE STRESSES ON THE REAR AXLE, RESULTING IN THE BREAKAGE OF THE AXLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A BROKEN AXLE WILL CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE DUAL REARWHEEL ASSEMBLY FROM THE MOTORHOME, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT INAN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLIES WITH FULL-FLOATING REAR AXLE ASSEMBLIES.
