- The defect
- Karavan Trailers, Inc. (Karavan) is recalling certain 2021 Move I 1500 Long trailers. The wheel spindles were improperly welded to the axle.
- What it can cause
- The welds can break, causing the wheel to detach and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive their trailer until the remedy is completed. Dealers will reimburse trailer transportation costs and replace the axle, free of charge. The effected trailer manufacturers have been notified. Owners may contact Karavan customer service at 1-920-928-6200 ext. 333.
- 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.nhtsa.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 220 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Karavan vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 2 times before this, most recently in April 2016 as 16V213000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Karavan Trailers, Inc. with NHTSA on June 9, 2021 as campaign 21V437000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
