What's wrong?
The wheel studs on the 2016 Starcraft Autumn Ridge are the threaded posts that hold each wheel to the axle hub. The hub sits at the end of the non-powered axle, and the wheel is clamped to it with lug nuts tightened onto those studs. That clamping force keeps the wheel seated squarely while the trailer rolls and carries weight.
On the recalled trailers, the problem is in certain Tru Ryde hubs installed on 5200-pound axle assemblies. The studs on those hubs break instead of holding the wheel with the intended force. Once studs break, the remaining studs and lug nuts carry load they were not meant to carry alone, and the wheel attachment is no longer secure.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on noise, vibration, or a change in towing feel to tell you the studs are about to break.
