Crossroads RV recalls 172 for wheel center cap

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Crossroads RV is recalling 172 model year 2012 Rushmore and Elevation RVs manufactured from June 1, 2011 through Jan. 12, 2012, with panther style 16" 8-lug aluminum wheels. These vehicles have been manufactured with an incorrect wheel center cap. The center cap that was assembled with the trailer did not provide adequate clearance to allow the wheel to fully seat on the hub face of the axle. This can result in a wheel becoming loose and potentially coming off of the trailer.

A wheel separation can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or damage to others.

Crossroads RV will notify owners, and replace the center caps free of charge. Owners may contact Crossroads RV at 1.888.226.7496.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1.888.327.4236 (TTY 1.800.424.9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
