While towing our 2024 Black Series HQ21 travel trailer (VIN [XXX]) at under 5 mph while pulling in to park, the driver's side rear axle tire experienced a tread/belt separation and blew out. The incident occurred on XXX at approximately 10:14 AM. The trip prior to the failure was less than 3 miles, tire pressures had been checked before departure, and cumulative mileage on the trailer is estimated at under 1,500 miles. No crash or injury occurred; damage was limited to the tire itself. The trailer was equipped with Wanli GeoHunter M/T tires as installed by the manufacturer. Tread separation and blowout failures on these OEM tires appear to be a widespread, recurring issue reported by numerous other Black Series HQ21 owners on RV owner forums, suggesting a defect in the tire or its suitability/rating for this trailer's load requirements rather than an isolated incident. The manufacturer (Black Series Campers) offered to replace the wheels/tires at no cost, but only if the owner pays freight shipping, which was quoted at a cost exceeding what a full new tire set would cost if purchased directly — an unreasonable remedy given the apparent widespread nature of the defect. Photos and video are available upon request. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
