FEATHERLITE MODEL 3110 CAR TRAILER. TANDEM AXLE FENDERS ARE SECURED IN PLACE BY SPRING LOADED CLAMPS. THE CLAMPS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO HOLD THE FENDER ON THE VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CLAMPS CAME LOOSE AFTER TRAVELING OVER A POTHOLE. YESTERDAY ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CLAMPS CAME LOOSE AND THE FENDER LEFT THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SEVERAL CARS WERE STRUCK AND THE LARGE TANDEM FENDER BECAME A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE RUGGEDIZED TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND SECURE CLAMP SYSTEM, ENSURING THAT THESE LARGE FENDERS REMAIN IN PLACE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

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.
