Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRAVEL TRAILERS. THE AXLE ASSEMBLIES WERE REVERSED WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES AND SPRINGS TO ALSO BE REVERSED.
Risk. THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE WILL IMPAIR THEIR ABILITY TO FUNCTION.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL TURN THE AXLE ASSEMBLIES WHICH WILL MOVE THE BRAKES AND SPRINGS INTO THE CORRECT POSITION.
THE LEFT REAR TIRE ON MY CAMPER TRAILER FAILED TAKING THE ENTIRE TREAD CAP OFF THE TIRE. THE TREAD PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAILER AND BROKE THE GRAY WASTE WATER DRAIN LINE OFF OF THE TRAILER. THE TRAILER WAS NOT OVERLOADED, TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED AND APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES. AFTER REPLACING THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE, ALSO A CARLISLE, WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER A TIRE ON THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE TRAILER FAILED, ALSO LOSING THE ENTIRE TREAD CAP. THIS TREAD WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE AND SO WAS SAVED AND SHOWN TO THE TIRE DEALER WHERE TWO REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE PURCHASED. THEY COULD FIND NO OBVIOUS CAUSES FOR THE FAILURE. ON OUR RETURN TRIP, THE SPARE THAT HAD REPLACED THE TIRE ON THE FIRST BLOWOUT, FAILED. THIS TIRE WAS IN NEW CONDITION AND HAD NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND BEFORE. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE THIS TIME WAS 62 DEGREES, THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE ALL COLD TO THE TOUCH. WE HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD LESS THAN AN HOUR, EARLY IN THE MORNING. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS FAILURE AGAIN ON THE LEFT REAR, TOOK OUT THE REPLACED GRAY LINE AND PUNCHED AN EVEN LARGER HOLE IN THE FLOOR OF THE TRAILER, WHICH HAD ALSO BEEN REPAIRED. THIS TIME THE ENTIRE TREAD CAP WAS NOT LOST, BUT ABOUT A HALF OF THE TREAD CAP IS MISSING. *NM

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.
