Tl* the contact owns a 2009 holiday rambler presidential recreational trailer. The trailer is equipped with uniroyal liberator load range e (na) tires, size ltp265/75/16 (na). While driving approximately 35 mph, the front driver side tire failed and damaged the undercarriage of the trailer.
Lippert axle system axle model nv-173547 axle rating 7000 lbs. Contrary to a lot of misinformation out there, the lippert sbs wheel/bearings are not nev-r- lube (similar but with some critical differences).
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 holiday rambler presidential. While parked, the contact noticed that there was a plaque on the side of the trailer that stated that a secure nut had to be removed before the spare tire could be removed from its mount.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) wheel failure (chrome wheel): 2005 holiday rambler mod: 30scd presidential chassis vin [xxx].
Unusual tire wear. Caused me to question a trailer service technician. He indicated that the trailer that I purchased in 2008 had never had the recall performed --nhtsa 04v483000-------currently monaco corp has filed for chapter 11 reorganization and international has purchased the assets.
We blew two sets of tires due to the axles dropping which caused the rear tires to rub thus causing smoke. We took the rv to a factory dealer in draper utah who refused to touch he axle due to liability.
