TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PACE AMERICA WORKSPORT TRAILER. WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER ACROSS COUNTRY, IT STARTED TO VIBRATE SO MUCH THAT THE FENDER FELL OFF. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE FENDER WAS REPLACED BY A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE TRAILER WAS REPAIRED THE FENDER BROKE. THE FENDER WAS WELDED ONTO THE TRAILER BY AN ASSOCIATE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE TRAILER TO ONE OF THEIR LOCATIONS WHICH IS 400 MILES AWAY. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE FENDER COULD FALL OFF AGAIN AND BE RELEASED INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHICH COULD ALSO CAUSE A CRASH TO OCCUR.

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.
