Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSIGNED AN INADEQUATE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR). THEREFORE, THE TIRES AND RIMS INSTALLED DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD, CAUSING PREMATURE FRONT TIRE TREAD WEAR OR TIRE FAILURE DURING NORMAL DRIVING.

Risk. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TIRES AND RIMS ON THESE VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH LARGER COIL SPRINGS AND A TAPER REAR LEAF SPRING ADDED TO EACH SIDE.

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.
