NHTSA Complaint #11512433 — 2022 WINNEBAGO MICRO MINNIE

Spare tire carrier with stare tire sustained metal fatigue and the metal of the carrier bracket tore allowing tire to almost fall off onto highway. Fortunately, a semi driver flagged me pointing to the back of the trailer as he passed me. I had purchased gas 40 miles earlier and there was no identifiable problem. The tire was just barely above the surface of the road when I stopped. I made dealer aware of this that day (May 2nd). They said they reported to Winnebago. I waited to hear from Winnebago and did not so called and emailed them on March 7th. I have followed up with them 2 more times but no response. There was no warning this was about to occur. Had this tire fallen off, it would jeopardize anyone behind me or any oncoming traffic. I have since learned others have experienced the same problem.
