I HAVE OWNED MY TOYHAULER SINCE DECEMBER 2008. IN APRIL 2015 I NOTICED SEVERAL LARGE BREAKS IN THE MAIN I-BEAMS OF THE FRAME OF THE TRAILER. THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME CAUSED BY THE FRAME CRACKING. THE CRACKS APPEAR TO HAVE BEGAN SOME TIME AGO AS THERE IS RUST DEVELOPING IN THE CRACKS. THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL SECTION OF THE MAIN I-BEAMS OF FRAME WHERE THE CROSS BRACES ARE WELDED TO THE MAIN PART OF THE FRAME. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME IN SEVERELY COMPROMISED AS A RESULT OF THE POOR ENGINEERING AND FABRICATION. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOGRAPHS.

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.

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.
