Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vibration for the rear of the truck had been doing this since new. Took it to the dealer they balanced the tires in 7 mar 2012. No change vibration still there. Took it to discount tire rebalanced still no go. I wrote it off thinking this was normal for 2500 series trucks. Aug 2015 I upgraded the rims to forged j rated 6,600lbs and tires to h rated 4,940lbs. Because of the higher air pressure this made the vibration worse. I put the truck on jack stands and ran it in gear to trouble shoot the problem. What I found both rear axle hubs are warped causing the wheels to wobble severely. …”
NHTSA complaint #10781847, filed 2015-10, 22,807 miles“Right front tire sidewall blew out. Tire is a michelin ltx ms2 size 275 70 18. This is the same series tire that michelin has already had a recall on but a different size. Can only suspect that this tire size has same problem since there is no visible evidence of the tire being cut anywhere as inspected by black's tire service in wilmington nc which was the nearest michelin dealer at the end of my trip to nc. Also have picture of tire if needed.”
NHTSA complaint #10575095, filed 2014-03, 94,141 miles“While towing a 5th wheel trailer at 60 MPH, the right rear (passenger) wheel came off the truck. Five of the eight wheel studs sheared off, three others lost their lug nuts. The trailer weight did not exceed the axle, wheel or tire weight ratings.”
