Lippert is recalling certain 8K axles. Please see the 573 Safety Recall Report for a full list of affected part numbers. The axle hubs were incorrectly assembled with a grease seal rather than an oil seal, causing oil to leak.
Compare the exact product and every lot, model, serial range or date listed in the official notice. A similar name alone does not establish that your product is included.
