After a camping trip through the mountains of Wyoming, I discovered my campers trailer brakes were not working. I found the u-bolts that hold the axles to the leaf springs had contacted the frame of the trailer and cut the electric trailer brake wires in half making the trailer brakes inoperable. The leaf springs on this trailer are too weak and don't provide adequate clearance from the frame.

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.
