3 lugs: bolts sheared off the right wheel of the trailer. Stratos was aware of the the problem. nhtsa bulletin 99v293000 stated notification notices where to go out march of 2000. I never received a notice. A serious safety problem could have been avoided if had been notified that the a problem existed and the wheel lug bolts can come loose. Why has the problem not been resolved and the defective wheels recalled? does someone have to get killed first?*ak
