While towing the trailer loaded with a boat the right hand side single leaf spring snapped in half causing the axle to break free and shift backwards and the tire to begin rubbing against the fender/trailer frame. Luckily this happened at low speed at a boat launch and did not happen on the highway. Previously there were no signs of trouble, but examining the fracture of the leaf spring reveale that there was already surface rust on 1/3 of the crack.

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.
