WITHOUT WARNING AS WE WERE DRIVING THE WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE DRUM CAUSING IT TO SMOKE. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE IMMEDIATELY. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL HOURS FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, THE TIRE WAS JACKED UP TO BE CHAINED OUT OF THE WAY SO WE COULD MOVE TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. AT THE TIME THE TIRE WAS JACKED UP, IT FELL AWAY FROM THE AXLE AS IT HAD COMPLETELY DETACHED. THIS WAS THE FIRST OF THREE SUCH EVENTS. UPON REPAIR BEING COMPLETED THE MECHANIC COMMENTED THAT THE BEARINGS SEEMED UNDERSIZED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. AFTER RETURNING HOME WE TOOK THE UNIT TO OWN LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE OTHER THREE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF "PITTING". WE HAVE HAD NO LUCK GETTING ANY FURTHER HELP FROM THE DEALER WHERE THE UNIT WAS PURCHASED AND TO DATE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY HELP FROM PRIME TIME/FOREST RIVER. (WE ARE CANADIAN BUT THERE WAS NO WAY TO ADD A CANADIAN ADDRESS TO THE FORM BELOW. WE SPEND 1/2 THE YEAR IN ZEPHYRHILLS FL SO USED THAT ADDRESS).

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.
