WHEELS:HUB
- The defect
- Vanguard National Trailer Corporation (Vanguard) is recalling two 2022 VIP 53 ft. trailers. The wheel hubs may have an insufficient amount of lubrication, which could cause the hub bearings to fail.
- What it can cause
- Hub bearing failure could cause the wheel hub assembly to detach, causing a loss of stability and control, or create a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the wheel hubs and add the proper amount of lubricant as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2022. Owners may contact Vanguard's customer service at 1-219-253-2000.
- 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 2 vehicles this is a small campaign: 98% 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, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
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 Vanguard National Trailer Corporation with NHTSA on May 17, 2022 as campaign 22V345000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
