The problem

A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf.

The affected vehicles have rear cargo door hinges with welds on the hinge pin and hinge plate that may be insufficient, and as a result, the top of the door may swing down with more force than normal.
The risk

The problem

The risk
If the vehicle is loaded to a weight greater than 18,000 lbs, the pin box can fail, possibly resulting in the trailer separating from the tow vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.

Suspension

Leaf spring hangers are bending from turns due to poor design and no reinforcement. After so many times that they bend back and forth stress points are created and the metal fatigues and snaps, and the suspension and axle becomes unhinged from the trailer at the point of failure without the knowledge of the persons towing it, creating erratic handling. If any of the other 3 spring hangers to that axle has the same failure the whole axle can come unattached to the trailer. Their are company's that are making and...

Read the full complaint

tires (driver-side front) was wearing strange. The outer tread was worn more than the rest of the tire. We made the decision to continue on the final 200 miles to our destination. We made several stops paying close attention to the tire wear. Once arriving, I had the tire replaced at big o tires in craig, colorado. June 18, 2018 ' approx mileage at time of incident: 2,500 miles since purchase date on our return trip from co to ca on june 20, 2018, we stopped in heber city, utah for fuel. Upon checking the tires, I found that one of the westlake tires had lost approx 40% of a complete section of tread, only the steel cords were left. The tire had not lost tire pressure nor had the temp climbed to raise the alarm on the tpms system. Lucky we had caught this before the tire blew apart and caused any damage or injury. We proceeded to a les schwab tire center less than mile away where I had all 4 tires replaced with sailun 14ply tires. These tires had less than 3000 miles on them. There are hundreds of reports of these tires failing. They are severely over-rated and need to be pulled off the market and a nation-wide recall issued, hopefully before someone looses their life.
