THE WIPER ARM ATTACHMENT TO THE DRIVE SHAFTS CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE WIPER SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS, (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 02V142000) BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY PREVOST THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY COACH NUMBER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Tires
Filed Nov 8, 2007NY

IT IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TIRES FOR THE MOTORCOACHES. THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE WITH LARGE BUBBLE WHEN THEY WERE FILLED WITH AIR. WE HAD NO INCIDENT BECAUSE WE DID NOT USE THEM AFTER WE FOUND OUT THAT PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED THE RETAILER I & E TIRES AT 611 SMITH STREET, BROOKLYN, NY 11231 AND THE MANUFACTURER CONTINENTAL TIRE COMPANY TO REPORT THE PROBLEMS BUT WE DID NOT GET ANY ANSWER FROM BOTH PARTY. THERE WERE OVER 10 DEFECTIVE BUS TIRES WE CANNOT USE BUT EITHER THE RETAILER NOR MANUFACTURER WOULD LIKE TO RESPONSE FOR IT. *TR

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.
