Most Recent Complaints
July 2023 and May 2024 opposite spring hangers broke off. The first time it blew a tire out on my travel trailer. The second time I realized what had happened before something catastrophic happened. Now my 4-year-old travel trailer is unsafe to be pulled on the highway. After some research, I have noticed this has been an issue with Lippert frames for quite some time. This time it flattened the arch in the leaf springs and my travel trailer is leaning approximately 4 " on 1 side.

This time it flattened the arch in the leaf springs and my travel trailer is leaning approximately 4 " on 1 side.
The tire size: ST225/75R15. Purchased on 06/21/2021. With less than 2500 miles we blew out drivers side rear. Upon checking other tires, the passenger rear tread was separated from core, replaced both rear tires in Grand Junction, CO, 09/07/2022. On 09/17/2022, the passenger front tire blew, causing damage to the trailer, removing the fender skirt and damage to te body structure around the wheel well. Upon checking other tires, the drivers front tread was separated from the core, and both tires were replaced in Kearney, NE, on 06/19/2022. We currently have all four tires replaced with the same type tire, and are very uncomfortable with these tires due to this experience. I reported this experience to the BigO dealer and he said the manufacturer would not do anything after reporting to them. Thank you for letting me tell you about our situation. I’m sure nothing will be done. [XXX]. Phone number: [XXX]…..also, I have pictures and invoices available. I don’t know how to attach them to this report. Thank you INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
