NHTSA complaint #10781468, filed 2015-10, 2,000 miles2016: “I took my travel trailer in to my dealership, smallwoods trailers, to determine the cause of an electrical fault. The fault was found to be in the braking system. Specifically the backing plate on one wheel had broken and the other three backing plates had cracks in them. I have never heard of this happening before on any of the automobiles I have owned. Seems odd. Are others having this same problem? This trailer weighs over 13,00 pounds.”
