NHTSA recall campaign
24E019000
What was wrong
Defect
Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain MTP 20K Surge Brake Couplers with part number 2023050981. The couplers may have an incorrect label stating a capacity of 20,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) when the accurate capacity is 19,000 lbs. GVWR, which can allow the brake system to be overloaded. As such, these couplers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and electric brake systems."
Risk
An overloaded brake system can cause brake failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Lippert will replace the labels, free of charge. Vehicle manufacturers were notified on March 22, 2024. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514.
