3 LUGS: BOLTS SHEARED OFF THE RIGHT WHEEL OF THE TRAILER. STRATOS WAS AWARE OF THE THE PROBLEM. NHTSA BULLETIN 99V293000 STATED NOTIFICATION NOTICES WHERE TO GO OUT MARCH OF 2000. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF HAD BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE A PROBLEM EXISTED AND THE WHEEL LUG BOLTS CAN COME LOOSE. WHY HAS THE PROBLEM NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS RECALLED? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET KILLED FIRST?*AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
