8K axles recall: Incorrect seal used on axle during assembly

Lippert is recalling certain 8K axles; see the 573 Safety Recall Report for a full list of affected part numbers. The axle hubs were assembled with a grease seal rather than an oil seal, which can cause oil to leak and lead to bearing failure and wheel loss, increasing crash risk. Lippert will replace the axle hubs free of charge; affected vehicle manufacturers will be notified May 1, 2026, and owners may contact Lippert at 1-574-538-4514.
