Safety recall for Patriot Supertourers

Queensland's Patriot Campers has issued an urgent notice to owners of its ST5 and ST7 Supertourer models, warning of a potential safety issue related to the hub bolts on the range-topping hybrid campers.

"Some critical bolts securing the wheel hub assembly may not have been tightened sufficiently during manufacture. Over time, this may allow the bolts to lose clamping force and loosen or break," Patriot says in the recall notice.

"If the bolts loosen or break, the wheel hub and brake assembly could separate from the trailer while it is being towed. This could cause loss of wheel retention, braking at that wheel or trailer control, and may result in a collision causing serious injury or death."

Owners are advised to contact their nearest authorised Patriot Campers dealer to arrange for an appointment to have the work carried out, free of charge.

Patriot says it will supply the replacement kit at no cost.

"If your trailer is not currently being used, avoid using the trailer until the recall can be completed. If the trailer is ‘on the market’ the recall must be completed before change of ownership."

If the camper is currently in use, Patriot is recommending owners "tighten the bolts to 90 Nm (DO NOT EXCEED 90 Nm) and limit use of the trailer until the recall has been completed. If the trailer must be used, bolt torque should be checked regularly".

The manufacturer has also supplied a set of instructions for an on-the-spot owner inspection, prior to taking it to a service centre or doing the rectification work. Check out the recall notice for full details.

All up, 62 ST5 and ST7 Supertourer campers (2025 and 2026 build) are included in the recall.

A full list of VIN numbers can be found on the government recall website.
