Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) kz-rv; 2006 montego bay, vid; [xxx] on feb 7th of this year we were returning home from an annual event. Driving through the desert (ca95 north bound to I-40), we experienced an extremely dangerous axle failure, when 2 u-bolts that were holding the axle to the leaf springs on the rear axle (of a tandem) failed. I was able to take evasive action and get to the side of the road in a reasonably safe place after having completed a series of down hill ?s? Turns. We were able to affect repairs via contacting good sam ers, which was able to locate a mobile mechanic/repair service. While we were waiting for them to arrive, I walked back through our previous path of travel to locate the failed u-bolts. I was able to locate one of them, and from my inspection looks to be the final one that was holding the axle together because it had sheared clean through. I believe that the other u-bolt had departed its location sometime in the past, most probably because of a serious manufacturing/assembly practice. On the forward axle (untouched from factory delivery), of the tandem, I found that; ?no washers were used on the u-bolts ?equal leg/thread length on six of the potential 8 legs ?one u-bolt was seriously flawed in its assembly oone leg was cross threaded/stripped and had only what appeared to be one nut width in thread contact. Othe force applied to the opposite side of this u-bolt, causing a severe distortion in the arc of the clamping device, there by stressing it to an extreme level. I documented with pictures every step, along with the failed u-bolt that sheared.
