Upon removing the most rear tire on the driver side of my RV fifth wheel trailer, I discovered the 12-inch I-beam was cracked near the hanger bracket. The crack is 5.5 inches long. If the crack continues to lengthen without repair, there is the potential for catastrophic I-beam failure on the highway. This problem is noted by the manufacture, Lippert Components, before 2016. I contacted a Lippert representative, Paul Klskowski, on November 9, 2016. Lippert offered it to be repaired at a local shop and provided a detailed repair procedure. Lippert denied the repair because the quote was too high. I had no warning of any kind that the crack had occurred.
