PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TRAVEL TRAILER FROM GANDER OUTDOORS. TOOK THE CAMPER OUT ON THE FIRST TRIP AND HAD A MASSIVE TIRE BLOW OUT. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY, HAPPENED TO NOTICE SMOKE FROM THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR THEN SAW PIECES OF RUBBER FLYING EVERYWHERE. MOVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS A NOT A SINGLE ISSUE, MOST FOREST RIVER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PUTS THE DRIVERS AND FAMILY OF THE CAMPER AT RISK FOR CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS ALONG WITH PLACING OTHER ROAD DRIVERS AT RISK FOR POSSIBLE FATALITIES. *DT CONSUMER STATED WE JUST PURCHASED IT. IT'S A 2020 MODEL. THEY ARE CASTLE ROCKS. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SIZES I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF THAT HELPS FOR IDENTIFYING THEM. WE ARE GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. THEY ARE STATING WE ARE NOT COVERED FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT.*JB
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
