TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LIFETIME TRAILER, MODEL NUMBER 65005. WHILE CHANGING THE TIRE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BEARING WAS LOOSE. HE PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF THE BEARING CAP AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COTTER PIN IN THE CASTLE NUT. AS A RESULT, THE TIRE COULD COME OFF OR BURN A BEARING, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE COTTER PIN HIMSELF AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT APPLICABLE.

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.
