Tires › Sidewall

Filed Mar 5, 200759,000 milesNC

THE VEHICLE, A 1991 SAFARI SERENGETI (M3450), WAS RECENTLY PARKED WITH A REDUCED LOAD ON THE DRIVE AXLE (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT LEVELING JACK PARTIALLY EXTENDED). WHILE PERFORMING OTHER SERVICE WORK, A SIGNIFICANT (SOFTBALL-SIZED) BULGE WAS NOTICED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE INNER RIGHT REAR TIRE ON THE RV. TIRES (ALL 6) HAVE EVEN TREAD WEAR, LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THEM, AND WERE MANUFACTURED WITH DATE CODE 4903--THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF DRY-ROT/CRACKING/WEATHER EXPOSURE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE DRIVEN WITHOUT THIS FAILURE BEING NOTICED, A BLOWOUT WOULD BE EXPECTED IN SHORT ORDER, WITH ASSOCIATED LOSS OF CONTROL POSSIBILITIES AND OVERLOADING OF THE REMAINING RIGHT REAR TIRE. *JB

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.
