I was driving my toyota motorhome when all of the sudden I heard a wobble sound. I though I needed a tire alignment, as my front tire was slightly balding, so I proceeded to the tire shop which was only 15 minutes away. Very shortly thereafter, going approximately 40 mph I lost control of my car…
I was driving my toyota motorhome when all of the sudden I heard a wobble sound. I though I needed a tire alignment, as my front tire was slightly balding, so I proceeded to the tire shop which was only 15 minutes away. Very shortly thereafter, going approximately 40 mph I lost control of my car, it literally felt like it was falling apart on me on the highway! Parts were flying everywhere as I came to a sudden stop on the shoulder of the road. What had happened, IS my back axle snapped in half and half of it, with my 2 double tires on that end, flew into the air and landed onto oncoming traffic on the other side of the highway! Next thing I knew, as I stopped, I saw on the opposite side of the highway one guy was thrown off of his motorcycle laying on the shoulder, his motorcycle was totaled and 2 cars rear ended each other. Luckily, no one was killed!!! And the guy who had the motorcycle walked away with a sore knee. After doing research there has been a major recall on axles of toyota motorhomes made before 1987, please everyone be safe and be sure to install an upgraded 6 lug free floating rear differential axle into your rv before something disastrous happens! apparently the business who was making these motorhomes (four seasons?) IS not in business anymore... I would really like reimbursement to pay for these repairs! Who can I contact? My axle was literally burning up when it broke just like the descriptions describe in the recall articles. These are deadly without this pertinent information be safe! *tr
