Example complaints
Body and structure: “- the contact stated that the tires on the 2005 Keystone Sprinter rubbed the top of the wheel well. The contact spoke with the dealership and was advised that the cause of the problem was due to the design of the trailer. The dealership informed the contact that the wheel was too close to the wheel well. This caused the tires to become deformed. The contact sent pictures to the manufacturer, and they advised him the cause of the problem was due to the trailer being overloaded, which caused the springs to bend. The vehicle currently had 2000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10184618, filed 2007-03, 2,000 milesTires: “Spare tire on our travel trailer has never been used. My husband was working outside and heard a large boom. The spare tire on the spare tire holder of the camper had exploded leaving a large hole in the tire. We are now very concerned about the tires on the trailer. If they explode while we are in route to a campground it could cause serious damage to our trailer and possible cause an accident. Your complaint information site does not list the tire on our camper. It is a mission tire st 205 75 r 15 DOT 4yb3 tc108 mho 402-07.”
