NHTSA Complaint #11604639 — 2019 FOREST RIVER R-POD

The contact owns a 2019 Forest River R-Pod Towable. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the driver's side mirror and the fender was slightly tilted upward on the outer edge due to the wheel touching the fender. The contact pulled into the nearest parking lot and became aware that the side marker light self-tapping screws had been shredding the tires. The contact raised the fender and reattached it to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on the passenger’s side and temporarily repaired the RV. The contact researched and became aware that the floor was wider than the frame by approximately 6 to 7 inches, causing the wall to place the weight on the fender, causing damage to the tire. The RV had not been taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,500.
