DISCOVERED CRACKS ON SIDEWALLS OF THREE (3) MICHELIN XRV 235/80/22.5 TIRES ON MY YEAR 2000 CLASS A MOTORHOME WITH 28,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN 1999 AND ARE 5 YEARS OLD AND MICHELIN TIRE CO SAID THE WARRANTY FOR DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP IS FOR 5 YEARS. DON'T HOW LONG THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN THERE AND I AM AFRAID FOR BLOWOUTS. MICHELIN SHOULD MAKE IT GOOD AND REPLACE THE BAD TIRES. MAYBE THERE ARE MORE BAD ONES LIKE THE INSIDE OF THE DUALS?*AK

6 of 6 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
