What's wrong?
The suspension equalizer linkages on the 2011 R-Vision Onyx travel trailer are part of the trailer suspension. They help the axles share load as the trailer moves over bumps, so the wheels stay supported and the trailer tracks properly behind the tow vehicle.
On affected Onyx trailers, the brake wiring and liquid propane line are routed above the suspension. Under extreme rough road conditions, the equalizer linkages can move close enough to contact those lines. That contact can damage the brake wiring, the propane line, or both, depending on where the suspension moves and what it strikes.
An owner is not given a clear early symptom in the recall filing. There is no warning sign before failure. Treat any visible wire damage, propane smell, or brake problem as a reason to stop using the trailer until it is inspected.

What's the safety risk?
Damaged brake wiring can leave the trailer without braking ability, increasing crash risk and exposing people to property damage, personal injury, or death. Use extra care until the wiring and propane line routing are corrected. Repair will be free at any franchised R-Vision dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 R-Vision Onyx is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised R-Vision dealer to ask whether the free repair is available for your trailer.
- Schedule the brake-wiring and liquid-propane-line rerouting so the suspension equalizer linkages cannot damage them under rough-road use.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 11V051 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the repair is complete if the brakes feel weak or trailer braking does not respond normally.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an R-Vision technician reroutes the brake wiring and liquid propane line away from the suspension components so the equalizer linkages do not contact those lines on rough roads. The recall repair is performed free of charge. The safety recall began on February 11, 2011. If your 2011 Onyx is included, ask the dealer to confirm the brake wiring and propane line routing before the trailer is returned to service.
