Owner report 11033369 · 2017-10-14 (October 14, 2017)

THE TRAILER HAD A SEVERED BRAKE WIRE, THE RESULT OF AN INSTALLATION ISSUE. THE WIRE WAS TOO LOOSE AND WAS ALLOWED TO REST ON ROTATING COMPONENTS. THE OTHER THREE WHEELS ALSO HAD LOOSE WIRES THAT THE TECHNICIAN HAD TO SECURE, THOUGH THEY DIDN'T NEED TO BE MENDED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE BRAKE CONTROL BOX WAS READING SHORT CIRCUIT AND EVENTUALLY WENT TO AN OVERLOADED CONDITION AND STOPPED APPLYING THE BRAKES ALTOGETHER.

Owner report 11461086 · 2022-04-17 (April 17, 2022)

There are 4 bolts that hold the backing plate to the axle. All 4 were missing from one of the wheels. The brakes of that wheel were over heating to the point of billowing out smoke. We called the dealer and the tech thought a stuck brake. Told me how to cut the wires for just that wheel. Trailer was dropped off at the dealer for repair and is available to view. I also took two photos. I feel as though there was a risk of our wheel falling off, potentially causing us to roll the trailer or the wheel hitting someone else.
