What's wrong?
The axle assembly under the 2006-2007 Nu Wa Custom Campers Ls and Custom Campers Hh Ii travel trailers supports the trailer's weight and lets each wheel turn in line with the frame. The axle tube is the crossmember that spans the trailer, and the spindle is the short shaft at the end that carries the hub and wheel assembly.
On affected trailers, the welds that attach the spindle to the axle tube are located in the wrong place. That bad weld location leaves the spindle attachment vulnerable under road load. If the spindle separates from the axle tube, the hub and wheel assembly can come off the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the problem is inside the axle assembly, an owner does not get a clear sound, light, or handling cue before the spindle starts to separate.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A separated tire and wheel assembly can strike other vehicles or pedestrians, risking injury, death, and significant property damage. Drive cautiously and schedule the recall inspection soon so the axle can be checked. Repair will be free at any franchised Nu Wa dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2006-2007 Nu Wa Custom Campers Ls or Custom Campers Hh Ii is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nu Wa dealer or Lippert at 1-877-870-4900 to ask about the axle inspection and free replacement path.
- Reference recall number 10V448 when you call, and ask whether your trailer's Lippert axle needs inspection for mis-located spindle welds.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the axle is inspected, since a separated wheel and hub assembly creates injury risk for people nearby.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, plus any axle or trailer service records, to the repair appointment.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nu Wa technician, working with Lippert, inspects the Lippert axle weld area where the spindle attaches to the axle tube. If an axle is found defective, the axle is replaced free of charge. The dealer repair will be free once available, and owners should confirm scheduling before bringing the trailer in. Nu Wa also directs owners to Lippert Components' Axle Service and Warranty Department for axle remedy coordination.
