The contact owns a 2021 Forest River Sabra Trailer. The contact stated that the driver’s side wall of the trailer had experienced an outward bulge and wrinkling, which extended to the roof section of the trailer. The trailer was taken to the local dealer who discovered that the aluminum side welds had fractured and needed to be rewelded. The trailer was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was concerned that the structure of the trailer was not safe and that the roof or side panel might separate from the trailer while being driven. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
