EVERY PLACE THERE WAS SOMETHING WELDED TO THE I BEAM THE I BEAM HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN ALL THE WAY THREW IN SEVERAL PLACES. THE LEAF SPRING HANGERS ARE LEANING SIDEWAYS AND THE I BEAM IS ACTUALLY WRINKLED LOOKING. THE CROSS SUPPORT HAS ALSO BROKEN LOOSE. THE FIFTH WHEEL WAS STATIONARY WHEN THESE CRACKS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 1000 LBS OR SO STORED IN IT. WHEN THE FIFTH WHEEL IS MOVED THE REAR AXLE SHIFTS SIDE TO SIDE AND MAKES LOUD CREAKING SOUNDS.

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.

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