Cruiser Rv is recalling 129 2019 travel trailers across the Fun Finder Extreme Lite, Shadow Cruiser Ultra Lite, Radiance Ultra Lite, Mpg, and Embrace lines because axle hubs can be missing inner bearing races.

What's wrong?
The rear axle hub on these 2019 Cruiser Rv Fun Finder Extreme Lite, Shadow Cruiser Ultra Lite, Radiance Ultra Lite, Mpg, and Embrace travel trailers carries the wheel bearing. Inside the hub, an inner bearing race, also called a bearing cup, gives the bearing rollers a hard, smooth surface to ride on as the wheel turns.
On affected trailers, that bearing cup was left out during manufacturing. Without it, the bearing does not roll against the correct surface, so friction builds in the hub. That heat can burn the bearing, overheat the hub, and burn the grease that is supposed to protect the moving parts. The recall repair replaces affected hubs with hubs that have the bearing cups installed.
Owners can notice heat at the hub first. Burning grease can create smoke near the wheel, and a failing bearing can make the wheel feel or look wobbly.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included in this recall.
What's the safety risk?
A missing bearing race can lead to early hub bearing failure and separation of the hub from the axle, increasing crash risk. If the hub heats up, smokes from burning grease, or the wheel feels wobbly, stop using the trailer and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Cruiser Rv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Cruiser Rv Embrace, Fun Finder Extreme Lite, Mpg, Radiance Ultra Lite, or Shadow Cruiser Ultra Lite travel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cruiser Rv dealer to schedule the free hub or axle replacement that fixes the missing inner bearing races and overheating hub issue.
- Bring the recall notice if Cruiser Rv mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V633 and Cruiser Rv recall 99.03.15 when you call.
- Limit towing until the repair is complete, since hub bearing failure can lead to hub separation from the axle.
- Call Cruiser Rv customer service at 1-574-206-7920 with questions about scheduling or repair status.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cruiser Rv technician replaces the defective wheel hubs with new hubs. If the axle assembly is involved, the technician replaces the axle instead. Parts and labor are covered by the recall, and the repair is available now through the dealer. The issue involves hubs that are missing inner bearing races, so the dealer repair focuses on replacing the hub hardware or axle assembly rather than adjusting the existing bearing parts.
