We were driving home from the Denver area on Sunday, [XXX] at [XXX]. After about 15 minutes of driving, another driver pulled alongside and told me a tire was missing. I pulled over. One of the trailer tires (driver side, furthest back) was gone. It was nowhere to be seen. The bolts holding lugs nuts were sheared off and the trailer fender was broken. The tire must have damaged the fender when it came off. -The tire assembly malfunctioned - this is only over a year old. -As for safety, the loose tire could have caused major damage. I had no way of knowing it came off since we have dual axles. -I have not taken this into the dealer yet. I called roadside assistance, but it was closed because of the day being a Sunday. I did call an emergency service to repair the wheel, axle, brakes, etc. -I am working with our insurance company and the dealer - no luck so far. They have not inspected it yet. There were no warnings - thank goodness someone told me it was missing. Thanks for consideration of our dilemma.

The wheels are 2-piece, with the inner ring that welds to the outer hoop. The welds appear to be very thin and so just the pressure of a sharp turn is over-torqu…

Welds on the steel wheels are breaking. I've broken two separate wheels, one just backing into a site, and the other turning sharp at a gas station to get to a pump. The wheels are 2-piece, with the inner ring that welds to the outer hoop. The welds appear to be very thin and so just the pressure of a sharp turn is over-torqueing the tiny welds to the point of breaking. Thankfully this didn't happen at speed because it would have been a major accident. I can't trust any of the other wheels at this point and am forced to replace them all with aluminum alloy wheels.
