While traveling down the interstate, the right rear leaf spring broke causing the two right tires to rub and bellow black smoke. There is a Jayco recall on this, and Southaven RV claimed to have inspected it. Either Jayco is at fault for a weak recall or Southaven RV is at fault for not completing the recall properly.
