DAMAGED WIRING BEHIND CEILING AND WALL PANEL IN THE TRAVEL TRAILER BEDROOM. A SCREW WAS RUN THROUGH THE 110V WIRING IN THE CEILING. A 110V WIRE WAS PINCHED BETWEEN TWO STUDS IN THE FRAME A 110V WIRE HAD DAMAGED INSULATION NEAR INTERSECTION OF THE CEILING AND WALL THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS REPRESENTED MAJOR DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WAS A FIRE HAZARD. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS ONLY A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND NO ACTUAL INCIDENT AROSE FROM THESE CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS. I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE OF THE SCREW THROUGH THE WIRE, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY PROVIDED ME WITH THE TWO ATTACHED PHOTOS. I ALSO HAVE A VOICEMAIL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETAILING THE EXTENT AND RISK POTENTIAL OF THIS DEFECT, BUT IT IS OF A FILE TYPE THAT CANNOT BE UPLOADED.

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.
