ODI #10190975

Incident: April 15, 2007 · Filed: May 16, 2007

2000 FLEETWOOD, TERRY LITE, 25FT TRAVEL TRAILER, 5900 GVWR. THIS SPRING ON 4/15/07,I REMOVED THE TRAILER FROM STORAGE AND NOTICED THAT THE STEEL BELTS ON THE TIRES WERE SHOWING THROUGH THE RUBBER. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE LEAD AXLE WAS BENT, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO WEAR PREMATURELY. I WAS GOING TO JUST BUY ANOTHER AXLE TO REPLACE THE BENT AXLE. I WROTE THE AXLE SERIAL NUMBER OFF THE AXLE AND CALLED DEXTER AXLE FOR THE MODEL # OR SPECS SO I COULD BUY ANOTHER AXLE. DEXTER AXLE TOLD ME THAT THE AXLES WERE ONLY RATED AT 2800 # EACH, TANDEM AXLES), = 5600# FOR A 5900 # GVWR. THE DEXTER AXLE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS QUITE COMMON FOR TRAILER MANUFACTURERS TO PUT THESE UNDER RATED AXLES ON, TO STAY COST COMPETITIVE. I CALLED FLEETWOOD RV AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND, THAT THIS WAS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE UNDER RATED AXLES. FLEETWOOD AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PUT AXLES THAT COULD HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF A CAMPER, AND WHEN A TRAILER STARTED TO BOUNCE, THE WEIGHT COULD INCREASE. FLEETWOOD STATED THAT I MUST HAVE OVER LOADED THE TRAILER. THIS WAS A FALSE STATEMENT BECAUSE I NEVER TRAVELED WITH WATER, AND I ALSO EMPTIED ALL THE TANKS BEFORE LEAVING THE CAMPGROUND. I JUST WONDER HOW MANY TRAILER ROLLED OVER OR ACCIDENTS THESE UNDERRATED AXLES HAVE CAUSED? THANK YOU! *AK
