TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHALET 1935. THE TIRE BRAND WAS MISSION AND THE TIRE SIZE WAS ST205/175/R14 (4YB3CI1C1407). THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BELT SEPARATED INSIDE THE TIRE. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY 2009. THE CONTACT TRIED REACHING THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY ARE OUT OF BUSINESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
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.
