MY FAMILY AND I WERE HEADED TO VACATION AT THE BEACH APPROXIMATLY 230 MILES FROM HOME. BOTH TIRES ON DRIVERS SIDE BLEW OUT 20 MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION. LUCKILY I BROUGHT TWO SPARES. WHEN LEVELING OUR STARCRFT TRAVEL TRAILER I NOTICED ONE TIRE ON PASSENGER SIDE HAD LARGE CHUNKS OF RUBBER MISSING AND RADIAL WIRES SHOWING, AS WELL AS WIRES COMING THROUGH THE SIDEWALL. I SPENT THREE DAYS AND $236.00 TRYING TO FIND TIRES. I ALWAYS CHECK FOR PROPER AIR PRESSURE AND FOR DEFECTS BEFORE GOING ON THE ROAD. THE BAD TIRES HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES AND ARE CARLISLE 175/80/R13 DOT DB 1U H12R 1502. I DID HAVE A BLOWOUT A YEAR BEFORE WITH THE SAME TIRES. NOW I HAVE NO CARLISLE TIRES ON ANY PRODUCT THAT I OWN. *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.
