UNDER THE LARGE KITCHEN ELECTRIC SLIDE OUT, INSIDE THE LEFT WHEEL WELL, THE OUTER DRIVE TUBE WHICH ATTACHES TO BOTH OUTER DRIVE ASSEMBLIES ALLOWING BOTH ENDS/OR SIDES OF THE SLIDE OUT TO RETRACT OR EXTEND EQUALLY PASSES TOO CLOSE TO THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND HAS ACTUALLY SHAVED RUBBER OFF OF THE TIRE SIDEWALL WITH THE SLIDE RETRACTED WHILE IN MOTION ON THE ROAD. CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR THE NORMAL FLEXING OF THE AXLE DURING TRAVEL WITHOUT THE TIRE MAKING CONTACT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

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.
