| Description of the problem | The lead spring broke. No additional weight. Not rough road. Since it was a manufacture defect my aaa insurance will not cover it. We were luck to be able to pull over in a somewhat safe space. A few minutes earlier it would have been a disasterous accident on a 2 lane mountain clip road. Even towing service and repair mabn said this is a rare manufacture defect. We are now uncomfortable not trusting the durability of our trailer which is less than 3 years old. While in motion it appeared as a flat tire, but instead one of the leafs completely broke with the trailer now sitting on the axel and tire |
