While we were getting our trailer ready to go camping and filling the fresh water tank at home the tank dropped and is resting on the axles. We are fortunate this did not happen while driving as it could have very easily resulted in a catastrophic event. Jayco has informed me that this is out of warranty. I feel this is a manufacturer defect and needs to be reported and hopefully added to a growing list of concerns.

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.
