  WHEELS

  THE FRAME ON THE VENGEANCE 40D12 TOY HAULER HAS A SUPPORT BRACKET LOCATED OVER THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. THIS BRACKET COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE TIRE WHEN THE CAMPER TRAVELS OVER BUMPS AND DIPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS ON THE FOREST RIVER FORUMS WEBSITE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM OTHERS HAVE WITH THIS MODEL CAMPER. THE BRACKET CHEWS AWAY AT THE TIRE WHEN THIS OCCURS AND A TIRE FAILURE IS INEVITABLE IF THE BRACKET IS NOT REMOVED OR CUT AWAY. I SUBMITTED THIS TO THE FOREST RIVER WARRANTY DEPT. ON JULY 31, 2017 AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FORWARDED TO A WARRANTY REP FOR REVIEW. I EMAILED THEM AGAIN LAST WEEK ABOUT THE STATUS OF THIS CLAIM AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS DESIGN ERROR ON THE PART OF FOREST RIVER AND IF NOT CORRECTED, TIRE FAILURES ON THE ROADS ARE HIGHLY LIKELY.
