Travel trailer has wide stance axles manufactured by lippert components inc. The axles measure 2 3/8" diameter and the rear axle bent permanently causing excessive wear to the inside edge of the rear tires and leading to potential tire failure. Prior white hawk model years including 2012 had same problem with 2 3/8 inch diameter dexter axles that were upgraded to 3 inch to resolve the problem.

On july 25,2018 lippert replaced a bent axle on my white hawk tt. I started my drive towards home and after less than 8 hours of driving the new axle bent. This occured on interstate 70 as i was going around indianapolis, in. The axles on this travel trailer are each rated at 3.500 lbs and the gross weight is 7,500 lbs. The axle diameter is 2 3/8 inches. Lippert is replacing them again but this time with 3" diameter tubes. The weight capacity will still be 3500 lbs. Lippert asked me to drive from indianapolis where they bent to goshen in so they could repair them at their service center. On the way here the back right tire developed exposed steel tread and the hanger was bent. I drove in a heavy rain storm for 2 of the 3 hours. I'm glad the tire did not rupture along the way. This is the 4th axle to bend on my tt since april 25, 2018. My certified weight on the 2 axles is 6000 lbs and at the hitch end the weight is 1160 lbs. I am under weight. This is my second report involving axles on the jayco white hawk 2016. Jayco has been no help. They blame everything on lippert.

The axles on my camper have been replaced 4 times. Each time with the same axle. With no other modifications. The first time only the rear axle bent but i was able to drive back to the dealer in ct. The second time both axles bent and in the from right wheel the breaks, bearings, bushing, hub and spindle were all destroyed. The wheel almost fell off. Lippert replaced all parts and when i returned to ny my dealer inspected the axles and replaced the springs, shackles, and a bushing in june 2018. On july 4, 2018 the rear axle bent again. I've now been stranded waiting for replacement axles a total of 33 days.All events occurred while moving on highways. Simply replacing the axles is not working. Additional upgrades need to be made.

As of june 2018 with 220 miles put on trailer since axle was replaced, now rear axle bent & spring hanger welds broke again. Dealer says manufacture (jayco) installed incorrect axles. Jayco says the correct axles weight rating have been installed under trailer. As of july 16, 2018 rv still @ dealer waiting repairs. Has there been any investigations into this or other consumer complaints about the same? I have seen several recalls involving the same in other jayco model years. I presently feel unsafe to tow trailer, fearing our safety or the safety of others on roads.
