NHTSA Complaint #10587330 — 2012 WIND RIVER 29FKS

MY CAMPER IS EQUIPPED WITH WHEELS MADE BY SENDEL. ONE HAS A DEFECT. THE ALUMINUM CAST WHEEL HAS A POROUS AREA NEAR THE SPOKE/RIM JUNCTION. THIS AREA ALLOWS AIR TO ESCAPE OVER TIME, AND MUST BE WEAKENED IN A CRITICAL AREA. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE SENDEL WHEEL COMPANY AT THE COMPANY WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.SENDELWHEEL.COM. SENDEL WILL NOT RESPOND. MY LOCAL DEALER, SUMNER RV, IN SUMNER WA WILL NOT TAKE THE WHEEL BACK. WE HAVE THE CAMPER SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND ITS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. A SENDEL WHEEL DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE COMPANY. THIS IS A CHINESE COMPANY DUMPING INFERIOR PRODUCTS INTO THE UNITED STATES. THIS WHEEL IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE FAILED WHILE PULLING THE CAMPER. SENDEL SHOULD HAVE MEANS TO RETURN DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, INSPECT THE PRODUCT AND PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT IF REQUIRED. *TR
