Example complaints
Equipment: “120 volt AC cable was installed in contact with absorption refrigerator coils. Vibration would eventually lead to short, arcing, and potentially fire, particularly if arcing caused breach of the refrigerator cooling unit containing hydrogen and ammonia . Pictures uploaded show the cable in contact with the refrigerator coils and the excess length of cable as installed. This problem is identical to that covered by Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-038, but my trailer was not included in the affected vehicles list. I believe my vehicle and others like it should be included.”
NHTSA complaint #11464790, filed 2022-05Brakes: “The contact owns a 2019 Grand Design Imagine trailer. The contact noticed that the rear driver's side wheel bearing was separating from the axle. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who used a torch to remove the nut from the axle to access the wheel bearing. The mechanic also had to use a grinder to grind the axle and the brake pads had to be replaced. The contact was informed that the trailer was well enough to drive home; however, the entire axle needed to be replaced. …”
