NHTSA Complaint #11376997 — 2016 PRIME TIME CRUSADER

SEE NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11363266 THE RIGHT SIDE REAR TIRE RUBS ON THE SLIDE OUT FLOORING, THE SLIDE OUT CROSS MEMBER (INCLUDING MOUNTING BOLTS/NUTS) AND SLIDE OUT END BRACKET. THE UNIT WAS MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE TO PREVENT TIRE RUBBING. THE TIRE RUBBING HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO TIRES AND IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INSTIGATE CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CLEARANCES ARE INSUFFICIENT TO PREVENT CONTACT WHEN THE SUSPENSION IS COMPRESSED FROM NORMAL HIGHWAY BUMPS. PREVIOUS OWNER REPORTS BLOWOUT ON RIGHT REAR. HE WAS UNAWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND DID NOT REPORT. THE 3 PICTURES ATTACHED CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE RUBBING FROM TIRE CONTACT. PRIMETIME HAD AN IDENTICAL ISSUE IN A 2014 315 MODEL WITH IDENTICAL WEAR POINTS. AN NHTSA RECALL WAS ORDERED WITH A LIFT KIT TO BE INSTALLED THAT REMEDIED THE CLEARANCE ISSUES. 2014 PRIME TIME 315 NHTSA 14V-140. I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED PRIME TIME BUT WANTED TO DOCUMENT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT AND HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2016 PRIMETIME CRUSADER. ARE WE SAFE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS CONDITION?*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR
