Hello all, new member here. Purchased our Cyclone back in April and this was our first long trip with it.
While returning home this weekend with our 2015 3100, the wheel studs on the passenger rear hub sheared off and the tire flew toward the shoulder. The camper squatted down on top of the front tire and rubbed the fender well. After stopping (going 68mph on interstate), I found the wheel and the tire was perfect (all brand new with only 700 miles on them). The wheel has two lug holes that are egg shaped now. Call road side service for help. After paying for his first born's college, we were back on the road with the spare on the rear hub.
Question: what would be the main cause for this? Loose lugs, over-torqued lugs, blind luck, etc.
