    THE SLIDE MECHANISM COMPLETELY FAILED IN THE DEALER SHOP. COMPLAINTS WHERE DOCUMENTED FOR 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE SLIDE COMPLETELY FELL OUT OF OPENING, THE RV WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, HOWEVER IF THIS HAD HAPPENED DURING TRANSPORT WHAT EFFECT WOULD IT HAD ON PUBLIC SAFETY. THE MANUFACTURER IS REPLACING SLIDE MOTORS, ALL THE ROLLERS UNDER THE SLIDE. ALSO ALL THE FRAME SUPPORTS ARE BENT (OUTRIGGERS). THEY ARE ADDING ADDITIONAL OUTRIGGERS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE RV WAS DELIVERED MAY 27, 2015.
