I am reporting a safety defect on a 2022 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer, model 2516S, This RV is equipped with Dexter axle #1 and #9 from a total batch of #288 axles that Forest River recalled on July 27, 2022 under NHTSA recall 22V-558. The RV was purchased on July 15, 2022, twelve days before the recall. Of the 244 recalled RVs with those axles, only the single-axle tent campers were recalled because the defect was visually obvious on those units. On tandem-axle RVs such as this one, the incorrect installation was not visually apparent. This travel trailer was manufactured with brake axle defects and buyers of these units were never contacted.

Spare tire attached by cable underneath camper came loose and was bouncing around on road while still attached to spare tire cable. I had tightened up the spare tire cable prior to our 95 mile trip home, but the cable unwound while traveling until the spare tire started bouncing on road. Fortunately we heard the noise before too much damage was done and we were fortunate the tire didn't come off and become a road hazard to anyone following us. I see on multiple social media postings where this is a known problem with other Geo Pro campers and should be fixed by Forest River through a recall due to the risk of the issue.

The transmission failed on our 2019 Subaru Touring Ascent. Also, the Bluetooth brake system for pulling our trailer was losing electrical contact as it wobbled on and off. We tried to remedy this blue tooth situation before our last journey with the Camping World dealership who sold us the trailer, but it still was not connecting properly . We were put at risk and others were put at risk because the blue tooth wireless brakes were not functioning correctly. The trailer swaying into a traffic lane also put us and others at risk. The Subaru Ascent can not tow this 2022 GeoPro trailer safely. We were told by various salesmen that it could. The service manager at the Subaru dealer confirmed…

There is an active recall on this vehicle: NHTSA: 22V556, Canadian: 2022-368 22V556, 2022-368 - LCI AWNINGS 20E-055 It was inspected and I was told there is nothing wrong with it, now a month later it is failing and no one wants to help me! I have uploaded pictures of the failing awning! How do these companies get away with this? If it is a known defect why are they not forced to replace the defective item BEFORE it fails? This situation is absurd and needs to be better handled and the manufacturer forced to replace known defective items!
