ON A RECENT TRIP OUR SPARE TIRE SUPPORT SNAPPED WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING ON A BUSY FREEWAY IN CA. THE SPARE TIRE AND SUPPORT ROD WENT BOUNCING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST STRUCK SEVERAL VEHICLES. IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SOMEONE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IN CHECKING THE ROD IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUPPORT ROD HAD BEEN SPOT WELDED IN A COUPLE PLACES TO PUT TOGETHER TWO RODS. WE HAVE DEAR FRIENDS WHO ALSO BOUGHT A CRUSADER SHORTLY AFTER WE DID SO WE HAD THEM CHECK AND THERE SUPPORT FOR THEIR SPARE IT WAS ALSO WEAK AND APPEARED TO BE SPOT WELDED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

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.
