NHTSA Complaint #10460067 — 2012 COACHMEN CATALINA

MY FAMILY WAS JUST LEAVING A CAMPGROUND AFTER A NICE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND CAMPING TRIP. WE WERE ABOUT 1/2 MILE OUTSIDE THE CAMPGROUND WHEN WE LOST A WHEEL CAUSING THE AXLE TO HANG DOWN. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE CAMPER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY WHEEL BARING THAT HAD COME LOOSE. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED,BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE COMPANY LIPPERT, WHO MANUFACTURES FRAMES. JACKS, AXLES, BEARINGS,ETC. FOR MANY RV COMPANIES,"WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH NOT 25 MPH? OR, DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT YOU ARE MANUFACTURING FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT PUT PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER?" APPARENTLY THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS FOR LIPPERT PRODUCTS, NONE OF WHICH I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT BY MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE. *TR
