NHTSA Complaint #10452170 — 2001 GEORGIE BOY SUITE

FRONT SPRINGS ARE COMPLETELY COLLAPSED, BODY IS SITTING ON THE FRAME RUBBER STOPS. PASSENGER AIRBAG INSIDE COIL SPRING OK, DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INSIDE COIL SPRING RUPTURED. TOOK TO A TRUCK REPAIR FACILITY IN WILMINGTON, NC AND THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM, HAVE REPAIRED MANY WORKHORSE CHASSIS. MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF WORKHORSE WIDENING THE FRONT TIRE SPAN BUT NOT REENGINEERING THE SPRING SUSPENSION, THUS THE SPRING FAILURE. I CALLED WORKHORSE BUT THEY HAVE NO RECALLS ON THIS UNIT. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY WORKHORSE. COIL SPRINGS SHOULD NOT COLLAPSE. THE REPAIRS ARE TO BE COMPLETED NEXT WEEK, MARCH 26, 2012 AT MY EXPENSE, $850. *JS
