The contact owns a 2026 N/A Forest River Economy Hauler. The contact stated that while inspecting under the trailer, one of the four bolts connecting the axle to the frame was loose. Additionally, only four of the eight axle bolts were installed on the frame. The contact sent photos of the failure to an independent mechanic, who determined that the loosened bolt needed to be tightened, and that the other four missing bolts needed to be installed to secure the axle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25.
