The contact owns a 2016 Shadow Cruiser RV. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear leaf spring hanger and frame flanges fractured.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was informed that due to the age of the RV, and since the contact was not the original owner of the RV, the repair would not be covered under warranty. The failure mileage was unknown.
