What's wrong?
The rear axle spindle on the 2024 Brinkley Rv Model Z is the fixed shaft at the end of the axle where the wheel assembly mounts and turns. The axle carries the trailer's weight, keeps the wheel aligned, and lets the suspension track straight behind the tow vehicle. On this recall, the part is the Curt 7000 pound axle.
On affected units, the spindle was placed in the wrong position during welding. That leaves the weld in the wrong location around the spindle, so the joint does not carry load as designed. If the weld fails, the wheel assembly can detach from the axle.
This is not a problem an owner is expected to feel through normal towing. A visual inspection around the full weld circumference, using a certified location gauge, can show whether the spindle weld is properly located. Other than that inspection result, there is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
There is no driver warning sign before this wheel-assembly failure. A detached wheel assembly increases the risk of a crash, so treat the recall as a repair priority and have the spindle weld inspection handled by the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Brinkley Rv dealer.

- Call Brinkley Rv customer service at 1-574-501-4280 with questions about scheduling or dealer availability.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Brinkley Rv technician inspects the axles and replaces any axle that does not pass inspection. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all RVs included in this recall are still within the warranty period. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
