2000 Shasta Shasta recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
The 5TH wheel trailer frame rails are fabricated from I beams. The web of these beams CAN crack above the axle attachments.
💥 The risk
Cracking of the frame rails above the axle attachment CAN cause control problems for the tow vehicle operator.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the frames of these trailers. If cracks are detected, the area will be welded and a plate will be placed over the area using 1/4" flat steel. Rerouting of the holding tank drain pipes may be necessary on some models.
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.)
