From owner reports, verbatim
6/15/22 blow out to left side rear tire causing hub to drag in ground and 2nd front tire to pop. Hub dug into side of highway leaving us halfway on and off and could not safely pull all the way over. 8/2/22 same tire left side rear blows out. 8/10 right side rear tire wheel and rim completely come off and roll onto highway causing 2nd right tire to sustain impact and blow. Rv was in shop for 3 months for Axle repair and suspension upgrade got back on road 11/10/22 12/8/22 tire and rim roll off completely again on rear left side. Causing impact to rear front tire and hub dragging on ground. Spindle is shot and could not be towed due to how bad damage of tires were. Heartland states there are no recalls on RV but there is clearly a reoccurring issue that is putting my families safety and life at risk. My daughter is 1.5 years old and these blow outs and wheels and rims coming off is not normal.
