Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING OVER A SPEED BUMP IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 1 MPH THE REAR AXLE ON MY MOTORHOME BROKE IN HALF AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAME OFF! CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE CRACK SHOWED THAT THE AXLE HAD BEEN CRACKED FOR SOME TIME BEFORE IT BROKE. SINCE REPORTING THIS FAILURE TO THE RIALTA TECH WEB SITE SEVERAL OTHER RIALTA OWNERS HAVE FOUND CRACKS IN THE SAME AREA OF THEIR AXLES. IF THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY IT COULD BE TRAGIC. *TT UPDATED 1/23/14*CN 1/29/14CN
