2004 Komfort 28FS & 2004 Komfort 29FS recall: wheels

💥 The risk
Lack of thread engagement could allow the wheel to separate from the trailer and a crash could occur without prior notice.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the wheels free of charge. The recall began on january 4, 2005. Owners may contact komfort at 800-554-2711.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
