After pulling my 2016 COACHMEN CHAPARRAL TRL 5WHL for about five hours I arrived at my destination and observed that driver side front tire tread had separated and was ready to blow. A Sailun S637 ST235/80R16, DOT 1YJ276PLY. The tire was purchased approximately 1-year earlier and had less than four thousand miles of use.
THE LEAD SPRING BROKE. NO ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. NOT ROUGH ROAD. SINCE IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT MY AAA INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER IT. WE WERE LUCK TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SOMEWHAT SAFE SPACE. A FEW MINUTES EARLIER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTEROUS ACCIDENT ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN CLIP ROAD. EVEN TOWING SERVICE AND REPAIR MABN SAID THIS IS A RARE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. WE ARE NOW UNCOMFORTABLE NOT TRUSTING THE DURABILITY OF OUR TRAILER WHICH IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. WHILE IN MOTION IT APPEARED AS A FLAT TIRE, BUT INSTEAD ONE OF THE LEAFS COMPLETELY BROKE WITH THE TRAILER NOW SITTING ON THE AXEL AND TIRE

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.
