Dexter Brake drum cratered

[PUMPERDUDE]

Anybody have this happen before?Had a chunk(2x3) of my drum bust off. All the works are a mess. I need everything from the backing plate out. All 3 other drums and shoes were ok. Some cracking on the shoes,but nothing out the ordinary. Any ideas what caused this drum to give up?Anyone know a dealer online to get these parts?They are 12 inch electric brakes. Thanks in advance

Do the trailer brakes have a light blue adjustor spring?

Thanks Boldt

Just the kind of info I was hoping to find. First the Goodyear Marathons(2 blowouts) defective. Now the brakes are are defective too. What next? . My TDR membership pays for itself again and again. Thanks again Boldt.

Contacted Dexter today

They are shipping a complete brake assembly and 3 springs for the other 3 wheels. No problem.
