On a recent trip our spare tire support snapped while we were traveling on a busy freeway in ca. The spare tire and support rod went bouncing down the freeway and almost struck several vehicles. It was by the grace of god that someone was not seriously injured or killed. In checking the rod it was discovered that the support rod had been spot welded in a couple places to put together two rods. We have dear friends who also bought a crusader shortly after we did so we had them check and there support for their spare it was also weak and appeared to be spot welded. I believe this is a major safety concern that should be addressed by the manufacture.
