TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DUTCHMEN TAB TRAILER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WHEEL ON THE TRAILER FAILED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE WHEEL BEARING MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE TRAILER TO MAKE A GRINDING, CLUNKING NOISE. SHE INSPECTED THE WHEEL AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS NOT IN THE PROPER POSITION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (400 MILES AWAY) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE INTO SALES, NOT REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
