A spring in the dexter electric brake assembly failed, causing brake components to fall into the brake drum while traveling at highway speeds on an interstate highway. This led to brake failure, component destruction, and overheating of the wheel. Because this happened on a trailer, we didn't realize what happened until we reached our destination. We had put approximately 1,000 miles on this new vehicle when it happened. (there are many similar reports on various rv owner internet discussion groups.)
The contact owns a 2017 forest river rockwood. The contact stated that the upper and lower metal brackets were bent. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired as of yet. The contact was concerned that the water tank may fall off the trailer. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. A failure mileage was not provided. *dt*dt

Nhtsa recall 17v129the slide room mounting bracket does not meet the tolerance of 3 1/2 inch minimal dimension away from the tread of the driver's side front tire. Forest river had sent a replacement bracket which has been installed by orchard trailers in whately, ma which does not meet the minimal tolerance. We are unable to get this recall resolved as of 11/30/18 ( the original recall notice was dated 02/24/2017).

While traveling home from camping on i-4, the left rear trailer tire blew. After safely getting to the side of the highway, i discovered the right side tire was also blown on the same axle. I had to put two new tires on my camper. While driving to the tire store to replace the front two tires, a third tire on the right front axle blew. The tires in question are castle rock ( made in china ) st225/75r15 load range d-dot jult imt 0216. I had exactly 65 psi in those tires prior to getting on the highway.
