NHTSA Complaint #11350132 — 2015 FOREST RIVER WILDWOOD

THIS PAST AUGUST 2020 THE BACK LEFT WHEEL BEARING SNAPPED OFF TAKING THE TIRE WITH IT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE MECHANIC SAID ALL THE BACKING ASSEMBLYS, HUBS AND BEARINGS AND 2 TIRES NEEDED TO REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BEARING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAMPER. THE TIRE LITERALLY SNAPPED RIGHT OFF THE CAMPER. THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND US, IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON 290 E IN TONAWANDA, NY. WE WERE VERY LUCKY WE PULLED OVER RIGHT BEFORE THE WHEEL SNAPPED OFF. I KNOW THAT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS NOT UNUSUAL, BUT THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. I DID FIND A RECALL ON THESE CAMPERS BECAUSE OF WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE SAME ISSUE THAT WE HAD, ON THE SPECIFIC MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF THE CAMPER. I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT ON NEXT STEPS TO TAKE AND POSSIBLE COMPENSATION. I HAVE INCLUDED A RECALL NOTICE I HAVE FOUND AND RECEIPT FOR THE PAST TOWING AND BEARING REPAIR
