AFTER DRIVING 70 MPH AND STOPPING AT A REST AREA, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE DETERIORATED. THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE AND TIRES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
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.
