What's wrong?
The floor bolt mounting angle on the 2021 Xtreme Outdoors Mypod is a support bracket that helps fasten the trailer shell to the frame. The shell is the body of the trailer, and the frame is the metal structure underneath it. That bracket has to hold the body in place while the trailer flexes, vibrates, and carries road loads.
On affected Mypod trailers, the supplier used an out-of-specification support bracket. The design called for a 3/16 inch bracket with a specified internal bend radius, but some trailers received a 1/8 inch bracket that did not meet that bend requirement. Xtreme Outdoors also found that the brackets had visible stress fractures. With less strength at that mounting point, the shell is not secured to the frame as designed and can detach while the trailer is being hauled.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a noise, handling change, or visible shift in the shell to tell you the bracket is failing.

What's the safety risk?
A detached trailer shell can become a road hazard and increase crash risk for traffic around the trailer. Until the inspection is complete, avoid towing the trailer on public roads if the shell or support bracket appears loose. Repair is free at any franchised Xtreme Outdoors dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Xtreme Outdoors Mypod is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Xtreme Outdoors dealer to schedule the free support-bracket inspection and frame replacement if needed, which secures the trailer shell to the frame.
- Bring the recall notice if Xtreme Outdoors mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V515 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the support bracket has been inspected, because the trailer shell can detach and create a road hazard.
- Call Xtreme Outdoors customer service at 1-740-788-9560 with questions about the free repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Xtreme Outdoors technician inspects the support bracket that secures the trailer shell to the frame. If the bracket has damaged or stressed the structure, the technician replaces the frame as needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Xtreme Outdoors has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who paid out of pocket before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices, receipts, and related paperwork to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.
