Example complaints
Tires: “We were towing a 2012 Heartland Cyclone 300c 5th wheel toy hauler trailer equipped with tow max 235/80 r16 trailer tires in april, 2013 on ca hwy 60 near riverside, ca when the left rear trailer tire blew. There was no sign that I struck an object or ran over anything. Luckily I had exited freeway and caught flat before any damage occurred. All 4 trailer tires had 80 PSI and trailer was not over loaded. I changed flat tire with spare until replacing it with a goodyear marathon of the same size. …”
NHTSA complaint #10557336, filed 2013-12, 1,500 milesBody and structure: “On august 30 2013 while merging westbound onto interstate 40 from exit 196 in moriarty nm at 7:35 pm I saw (from my right side mirror) a huge piece of tread flying off the left side of the camper. Since I was only merging onto i40, my speed never exceeded 45 MPH. When the tread flew out from the wheel, it jettisoned approximately 6 feet into the air. A tractor-trailer was in the left lane and made a hard left onto the road?s shoulder to avoid the flying tread. Had this been a car and the driver not noticed the tire coming apart, it could have hit the car?s side or windshield. …”
