I hit a mild pothole in June and got a sidewalk bubble. Had the tire replaced. Now I’m noticing another bubble in the replaced tire, and in the other from driver side tire. After researching I’ve discovered thousands of forums where this particular brand and tire is known for this issue. These tires are over $500 apiece.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
