SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:SPINDLE
- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Fifth Wheel Northpoint 387RDFS(LZ) recreational trailers. The welds on the axle spindle may fail, causing the wheel/spindle assembly to break away from the axle tube.
- What it can cause
- If the wheel/spindle assembly separates from the axle tube, it can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axle, and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 30, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-617-776-0344. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901526.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 735 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 55% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 11 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V385000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V355000 (equipment), 22V301000 (equipment), 22V046000 (tires), 21V685000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jayco, Inc. with NHTSA on October 29, 2020 as campaign 20V665000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
