Latest Cyclone complaints
We were driving north on [[redacted]] from Albuquerque to Aztec, NM driving between 65 and 70 mph. There was no debris in the road and the tire on the passenger rear axle blew out. The tread separation tore up the side skirt and trim. I checked the tire pressure on the other 5 tires and all were inflated to the recommended PSI. Navitrac N116 HD ST235/80R16 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Checked my tires, air pressure and left for a trip and on the trip the tire blew for no reason. Nothing was hit or any reason for tire to break.
I noticed the camper was not pulling straight pulled over a found the spring hangers for leaf springs had broken and others bent and frame was bent. The camper has a correct track system from Lippert co. And now from past problems was discontinued due to failures a video is out on you tube showing the hangers flexing in motion. I have frame damage an new hangers can not be installed by my welder to make repairs due to alignment issues an will not bolt up. Pics included Lippert has sent new hangers an gussets now but frame is bent. If they knew this why have they not ha a recall an now my camper is not repairable what do I do?
Before a recent trip, I noticed that one of the wheels on my trailer had cracked. I checked the other wheels, and they appeared fine, so I replaced the damaged one at my local Les Schwab. After a four-hour drive, I discovered that three more wheels had cracked. I contacted Les Schwab, and they came out to replace all the wheels and tires. While at camp, I inspected further and found that two of the frame trusses above the axle area were broken. The welds on these trusses were poor, with rust behind them. We had to...

repair the trusses at camp. After some research, I found this seems to be a common issue with Lippert frames. My wife was so concerned, she refused to ride in the truck while towing the trailer. Now that I was able to get it home without anyone getting injured I'll have to inspect the entire frame.
On two separate occasions I have had the door on the RV melt and crack from the door resting against the heat vent placed behind the door. The latch is NOT PRACTICAL OR SUFFICIENT. Many people go in and out and the door gets open and closed a lot. There's no real visible warning except hot written on the vent in the same color. We are educated people who are aware of what the plug is for. It only took minutes for this to happen. I can't imagine if we were not there and the door was left open what would have...

happened. If we were inside sleeping we would have no way out either. This is a poor design . I'm certain there is some kind of hinge that would stop it from lying flush with the back or stoppers that would bounce it back. I would appreciate it if you could review this matter. This is a FIRE HAZARD. I have also called and emailed the Heartland Company as well.
I was in the process of unhitching my trailer from my tow vehicle. The safety chains were still connected to my vehicle at this time. Once the hitch cleared the ball, the trailer rolled back slightly and the safety chains tore away from the trailer chassis. The safety chains as well as where they are bolted onto the chassis should have withstood what occured, given the fact the chains/mounting points are supposed to be strong enough to support not only the weight of my tongue(1300 lbs) as well as the force created if the trailer were to become unhitched while in transit.
