On our 2022 American Coach Dream 45A the one of two v-ride suspension bolt failed. There was no warning we had a problem. Upon inspection the second bolt was missing all together. The bolt snapped. The RV could no longer be safely drivable as the suspension would not work properly until both bolts were installed. The bolt was confirmed by a ntts repair man to be faulty possibly torqued incorrectly and he replaced with larger bolts and better nuts/washer. No warnings or error messages from Freightliner chassis other than a loud clunk and inability to shift coach without grinding noise. The RV is serviced annually with Freightliner in Gaffney, SC.
