What's wrong?
The axle assembly on the 2006-2007 Dutchmen Grand Junction fifth wheel travel trailer carries the trailer's weight and lets each wheel turn while being towed. At the end of the axle tube, a spindle holds the hub and wheel assembly in place so the wheel stays aligned and secured to the trailer.
On affected Grand Junction trailers, the welds attaching the axle spindle to the axle tube are in the wrong location. A weld in the wrong place does not hold the spindle as designed. Under towing loads, the spindle separates partway or fully from the axle tube, and the wheel and hub assembly separates from the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. A trailer owner should treat the problem as hidden because the filing does not describe a noise, light, vibration, or other symptom that appears before the spindle fails.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2006 and 2007 Grand Junction model years, both tied to the drive axle.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific trailer.
What's the safety risk?
A separated tire and wheel assembly can strike another vehicle or a pedestrian, risking injury or death, and can also cause significant property damage. Until the axle is inspected, limit travel and arrange service promptly if your VIN is included. Repair will be free at any franchised Dutchmen dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2007 Dutchmen Grand Junction is included in this recall.
- Contact Dutchmen warranty service or Lippert before moving the trailer to confirm the free axle inspection path.
- Schedule the axle inspection and replacement if needed, which fixes mis-located axle-spindle welds that can let the wheel and hub separate from the trailer.
- Reference recall number 10V410 when you call, and bring the recall notice if Dutchmen mailed one.
- Avoid towing the trailer until Dutchmen or Lippert confirms the axle has been inspected or repaired.
What happens at the repair
The source filing says Dutchmen is working with Lippert to inspect the Lippert axle on affected Grand Junction trailers. If an axle is found to be defective, the axle is replaced at no charge. The recall began on September 20, 2010. Because the current remedy status is not listed in the provided data, confirm the active repair path with Dutchmen service before moving the trailer. The dealer repair will be free once available for an included VIN.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V410?
Recall 10V410 covers 39 2006-2007 Dutchmen Grand Junction fifth-wheel travel trailers equipped with Lippert axle components. Mis-located welds can let the axle spindle separate from the axle tube, allowing the wheel and hub assembly to come off. Dutchmen and Lippert will inspect the axle and replace it for free if defective.
What should I do if my 2006-2007 Dutchmen Grand Junction is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 10V410. If it is, contact a franchised Dutchmen dealer, Dutchmen warranty service, or Lippert's axle service and warranty department at 1-877-870-4900 to arrange the axle inspection. Reference recall number 10V410 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to correct the safety defect at no cost. Dutchmen is working with Lippert to inspect affected axle assemblies and replace a defective axle free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is that the spindle can partially or completely separate from the axle tube. If that happens, the tire and wheel assembly can come off the trailer, strike other vehicles or pedestrians, cause property damage, and create a risk of injury or death.
What if I bought my Dutchmen Grand Junction used?
The free recall still applies. Recall coverage follows the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your Grand Junction is included, then reference recall number 10V410 when you contact a Dutchmen dealer, Dutchmen warranty service, or Lippert axle service.
