"In the last two months I have had snaking problems when I am towing at more than 45mph, even passing cars can cause it to snake. Baileys have been contacted, and have said that they have not had any other reports of a Unicorn Valencia having this problem. I will be buying a Torqe Wrench to check my wheels and see if that is the cause of the snaking.I have even considered changing my car, a Ssang yong Kyron thinking that my car may be the cause even though I have had the car checked over and is in A1 condition."

"Do we know if this is because the nuts are too tight. I have checked mine with a torque wrench and they did not budge a fraction of a millimetre.
I reckon that mine have been tightened to a torque setting higher than 110nm"

"Strange this news about wheel detatchment we have a pegasus 2010 last month our wheel left our caravan could this be the same fault surely they are the same chasis.Been caravanning for over 50years with my husband and the only problem in that time has been a puncture on caravan never lost a wheel before."

"I was somewhat surprised to read this recall.However my wife and I had a 2010 Pegasus on a single axle and lost the nearside wheel on our first outing. Our dealer was fantastic and we were back on the road after the axle had been removed, repaired and refitted. The other damage was minor and was soon repaired. I suspected someone tampered with the wheel bolts, perhaps not !! Still we have sold the caravan and now have a Unicorn Barcelona which we are delighted with in every respect. I do check the torque on all wheel bolts with a new torque wrench before every trip now."

"Hope the wings don't come off the Pegasus, then!!"

"One has to wonder if its a faulty wheel casting issue, not unknown, or a chassis manufacturer one?
Either way Bailey have done the right thing and not tried to hide the issue!"

"good job for caravan times i have the almeria ltd edition,the one with the 15oltr fridge was going to use it for the first time at whitsun so i will be now checking with retailer to see whats involved,but for your story i would not have known there was a problem,thanks."

"This is very unlucky for Unicorn owners and for Bailey. Let's hope the problem is resolved quickly with Bailey's usual high level of customer service. It's brave and honest to decide to do a total product recall. With the best of intentions, major faults can still occur sometimes and I think the measure of a good company is how well they serve the customer when something like this goes wrong. good luck to all involved!"

"We have had the wheel come off our Bailey Unicorn after only 3 months! We were lucky not to have had a serious accident, we too are caravanners of many years, before always buying from Swift. We are not at all happy as we have not been contacted by manufacturer or dealer about the problem despite having had the accident. On the contrary only last week they were saying it must be our fault. Our accident happened on Easter Monday and we are trying still to get the problem acknowledged properly.

We would like a replacement caravan as the chasis on ours will be damaged.

"In response to Malc Towers and his snaking Valencia we too have a Valencia and i recently checked the nose weight and found it to be 125kg!
We have two 6kg gas light cylinders and very little else in the front lockers, so it would be a good start to check the nose weight."

"Why only Bailey and why only the Unicorns? Most caravans use the same or similar Al-Ko chassis and more particularly the same wheel/brake drums, although most probably have 14" wheels whereas the Unicorn has 15", so is this a particular problem with 15" wheels?"
