What component or system failed? The inner brake pad material on the front wheel of the door side and off door side separated. The material did not come unbonded from the pad plate, the material itself separated. I have the pads and pictures of the failure. How was your safety put at risk? The material could have become jammed in the brakes. This could have caused the single brake to lock up (possible loss of control), cause a brake to overheat to failure, or catch the tire on fire. The material could have totally come loose. This could have caused a brake line to be severed causing loss of brakes or, due to loss of pad material, a reduction in braking capability. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the technician working on my vehicle stated he has seen this brake pad material failure on Kodiak pads multiple times. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer? Not yet. Were there any warnings? No

The front-end steel frame and structural assembly failed. The steel frame moves independently from the aluminum walls/body. Steel outriggers were not attached to the walls (both sides near propane compartments), main front beam mounting hardware was loose, and the front cap had inadequate attachment. The RV remains available for inspection. This defect compromises structural integrity while towing, creating risk of frame/body separation, loss of control at highway speeds, or catastrophic failure that could cause a crash, injury, or death to occupants and other road users. The defect was confirmed by independent service center Creekside RV (Salem, UT) through tear-down inspection, forklift testing that reproduced the movement, photos, and video. They performed 24 hours of structural reinforcement to stabilize it. Alliance RV was notified. They stated the unit was outside warranty and would only inspect it if transported 1,500 miles to Elkhart, IN. No manufacturer inspection of the defect has occurred. No police or insurance inspection has taken place. Early symptom: Cabinet separation photographed in May 2022 (12 days after purchase), later identified by Creekside as caused by the same frame flex. Progressive interior movement, sealant failures, and other secondary issues continued until full diagnosis in 2026. Additional safety concerns include loose fasteners falling from ceilings/walls (including in a child’s sleeping loft, creating injury risk) and a toilet seal failure allowing black-tank gases into the living space. These appear linked to the same manufacturing/assembly deficiencies. The RV has been used only for light personal travel. CAT scale records from 2022, 2024, and 2026 show consistent axle weights well under limits.

The contact owns a 2022 Alliance Paradigm RV. The contact stated that while the RV was parked, the contact and his wife became aware that the awning fabric had separated partially at the heat weld of the fabric. The awning was then closed and almost instantly, the fabric fell to the ground, and the arms were bent. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact believed that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V512000 (Equipment). The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
