The problem
Braxton Creek RV (Braxton) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Bushwhacker 10FB and 2021 Bushwhacker 10SS travel trailers. The lag bolts are of an insufficient size and may pull through the floor, causing the floor to separate from the frame of the trailer.
The risk
If not secured by the lag bolts, the body of the trailer could shift or separate from the frame, increasing the risk of a crash, injury or death.
The fix
Braxton will notify owners, and dealers will bolt the floor onto the frame using 3/8" x 2" bolts and washers with a lock nut, free of charge. The recall began October 2, 2020. Owners may contact Braxton customer service at 1-260-768-7932.
Contacts
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
