TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DUTCHMEN GRAND JUNCTION TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45-50 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE SHOP AND ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TIRE FAILURES AND DEFECTS WERE CONTRIBUTED TO BOTH FRONT AND REAR SPRING HANGERS DETACHING FROM THE FRAME. THE ORIGINAL COMPONENT'S STRENGTH LEVEL WAS INSUFFICIENT; HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT COMPONENT WAS SUFFICIENT FOR THE REPAIR REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT APPLICABLE.
