What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2014 Open Range LF319, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
OPEN RANGE 5TH WHEEL RV, WIRES FROM CHASSIS TO FRONT AXLE ELECTRIC BRAKES ROUTED OVER SPRINGS, INSULATION PARTIALLY RUBBED OFF DUE TO CONTACT WITH SPRINGS WHILE UNIT WAS IN TRANSIT. ON THIS UNIT, THE WIRES EXIT THE CHASSIS AND THEN GO TO THE LEFT, OR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE UNIT (AXLES) WHEN ATTACHED TO A TOW VEHICLE. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS A NEW UNIT WITH VERY FEW MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. WIRES FROM CHASSIS TO REAR AXLE ELECTRIC BRAKES ROUTED OVER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. EXPECT TO SEE CONTACT AT THAT LOCATION, TOO WITH SIMILAR DAMAGE POSSIBLE TO INSULATION OF WIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE ISSUE AVAILABLE IF THEY WOULD BE OF USE TO NHTSA. WHEN INSULATION FAILS I EXPECT A SHORT RESULTING IN FAILURE OF BRAKES IN RV UNIT....UPDATED 10/15/15 *BF UPDATED 8/23/2017 *CN

THIS SEAMS TO BE A COMMON, PROBLEM. SOME OF THE SIDE WALLS, REMAINED ON THE DAMAGED RIM. SENT A FORM TO LIONSHEAD SPECIALTY TIRE AND WHEEL. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM. SOME THING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR
