2019 Cruiser RV Shadow Cruiser Recalls & Complaints

Lippert Components Inc Frame & Suspension Failure The frame and weld show inadequate strength and poor bonding, causing the rear leaf‑spring hanger to separate from the frame during normal towing. The surrounding metal deformed as the hanger detached, and the failure occurred without any impact, collision, or misuse. This created an immediate safety hazard due to axle misalignment, loss of control, and potential suspension component separation. The issue has been inspected and documented by an independent repair facility, and similar weld failures have been reported by other owners of comparable trailers, suggesting a known manufacturing defect. The component is available for inspection upon request, and no warning lamps or symptoms were present prior to the failure. Lippert has specific repair procedures for this problem, which I found out after they denied my request for assistance.
