3 ST235/80R16 TOMAX 10 PLY TIRES BLEW OUT WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND 8/32 TREAD DEPTH. WE HAD 3 SEPARATE BLOWOUTS IN THE COURSE OF A 14 DAY PERIOD. ALL INVOLVED BELT SEPARATION

WHILE MAKING A SHARP 90 DEGREE PLUS RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET MOVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH THE TORQUE CAUSED BY THE TURN CAUSED THE CURB SIDE REAR SPRING HANGER (LIPPERT COMPONENTS INC, LCI CORRECT TRACK SUSPENSION SYSTEM) TO DETACH FROM THE RV FRAME AND BROKE THE SPRING EYE COMPLETELY OFF.

RIVETS IN THE CAMPER STAIRS WERE REPLACED WITH BOLTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE ACTIVE RECALL. I INSPECTED UNIT BEFORE PICKING BACK UP FROM THE SELLING DEALERSHIP. THE LOWER STEP IN THE STAIRCASE MAKE A LOUD POP WHEN YOU STEP ON IT WHILE EITHER ASCENDING OR DESCENDING THE STAIRCASE.

I AM SCARED THAT MY WIFE WILL LOSE HER BALANCE AND FALL DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT THAT THESE STEPS GIVE WHEN WEIGHT IS PLACED ON THE BOTTOM STEP, BUT I AM NOT GETTING ANY RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE SELLING DEALER ABO
