Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1. the first complaint would not let me enter the vin as it appears on the official title(ref odi number 10143600). the vin on the title is: [xxx] if you check you will see the difference. 2. since the first failure i weighed the trailer wheel by wheel. the results are a follows: right front 1500 lbs; right rear 1300, left front 1600, left rear 1100. the scales were rented from a local scale company calibrated with standards traceable to the national bureau of standards. 3. prior to departing the camp ground on the very next outing with the trailer, i checked the tire pressure of the tires. i noticed when checking the left front, which was 20 psi low (a goodyear marathon) that the tread on the left rear was distorted. further investigation revealed that the tread was in fact distorted and most likely caused by a belt separation. *jb updated 07/27/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
