Broken leaf springs bracket

We have a 2013 3455SA. The rear leaf spring brackets on the passenger side broke off. Anyone ever had this happen?

Not to me personally, but I've seen it happens regularly. Hard to tell much from the photo, but it appears the breaks are rusted over, indicating its been broken for a while. Fairly easy to fix for a competent welder, and strengthen it and the other hangars at the same time.

Yes. Original hangers are lightweight compared to the ones they will replace it with. Mine had cracked sometime back and rusted until it was fatigued, then completely broke. Definitely replace. Most trailer repair companies are familiar with the replacement you need and will check the others. I had a wet bolt kit installed at the same time.
