What owners reported
Newest filingsUNKNOWN There have been a few incidents of the welds on the axle and body frame failing and the axle separating during towing. These incidents happened to the owners of the RVs specifically the 2021 make and model Intech Sol Horizon. These owners reports their incidents on the Facebook page "The Official Intech Sol Horizon" group. Intech RV (The Manufacture) have been contacted and showed pictures of welds and responded that the welds are "completed correctly." I am not a certified welder or structural engineer, but several owners have the welds inspected by certified welders and was told that the welds are not sufficient. I'm reporting this on the behave of all the 2021 Intech Sol Horizon owners as it poses a safety risk on the owners and others around them. Based on the incidences that have occurred, the welds can fail at anytime. Attached are some pictures of weld failures, original welds that comes from the manufactures, welds that have been reinforced by third-party certified welders.

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.
