Tires

Filed Nov 19, 2000KY

THE TREAD CAME OFF TIRES ON TRAILER WITHOUT GOING FLAT AND THEY ONLY HAVE ABOUT 2000 MILES ON THEM, NOT DRY ROTTED OR WORN IN ANY WAY. I HAD THREE TIRES JUST LOOSE THEIR TREAD AT THE SAME TIME. THESE TIRES ARE CHECKED FOR AIR PRESSURE EVERY TIME THEY ARE USED. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRAILER DELTA MANUFACTURING INC, SAID THE TIRE IS RATED FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAILER AND SAID I SHOULD CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE HE HAS PUT OVER 200000 OF THESE TIRES ON THESE TRAILERS. I HAVE CONTACTED ANN STOTT WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES 1-800-423-4544 AND SENT HER PICTURES BY INTERNET OF THE TIRES. THEY WANT ME TO SEND THE TIRES TO THEM BUT I BELIEVE THE DEPARTMENT OF SAFTEY SHOULD SEE THEM FIRST. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 15 DAYS LEFT TO SEND THEM TO DEALER. IF YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected] THIS COULD REALLY PRESENT A PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENS ON A CAR AND THEY ARE PASSENGER TIRES. PLEASE RESPOND SO I CAN SEND TIRES TO YOKOHAMA TO BE LOOKED AT. THANKS, DONALD R. BOGARD 380 NORMANDY STATION ROAD TAYLORSVILLE, KENTUCKY 40071. (DOT NUMBER: VO122-01 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

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.
