NHTSA complaint #10096392, filed 2004-10, 10,000 miles“Carlisle tire on 2003 Rockwood travel trailer had a blowout while traveling down highway. Rubber came off of tire and struck side of trailer leaving black marks. Tire was properly inflated. Carlisle will not replace as we are not the original owners of the travel trailer. We have discovered that there have been numerous problems with the carlisle tires made from 2002-2004. Cost to replace tire is $100. We still have old tire.”
NHTSA complaint #10155411, filed 2006-04“We have blown to trailer tires in less that 3000 miles of use on a new trailer. I been checking the weights for the tires and feel they are not heavy enough for the trailer. Forest river will not warranty them. They say it is the responsibility of carlisle (the tire mfg.). Carlisle says the tires are too small and they do not control what forest rivers puts them on so they will not warranty them either. On 6/23, I talked with an engineer at Forest River and he also agreed that the tires were too small for my trailer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10078920, filed 2004-06“We were coming home from a camping trip when one of the tires of our travel trailer literally exploded, causing about $2000.00 worth of damage. The tires were checked (for pressure and visually) before the trip. The tire were made from carlisle tire co. And were less than 2 years old. The tire in question was a radial trail st 205/75r 15. Talking to the claims adjuster, a lot of the claims she files are the cause of carlisle tires exploding. Our trailer is scheduled to be repaired, but I am very worried that the other tires are going to do the same thing.”
NHTSA complaint #10093137, filed 2004-09“Dt: the contact stated there were 4 blow outs on the trailer. The contact felt that the trailer manufacturer put tires on the trailer that were not sufficient enough th hold the weight of the trailer, and that there should be a bigger size tire.
