“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10560921, filed 2014-01, 4,500 miles“On a recent trip to big bend texas we experienced 3 blowouts on our Heartland toyhauler. We were in the middle of no where and did not have cell service. Fortunately we were traveling with close friends that had their 5th wheel. With no help in sight the men changed the tires themselves twice within 100 miles. We had to use our spare and our friends spare to make it to a town where we could get both blowouts replaced. Let me add that before we left town we had to replace a tire because of a blowout from another trip. So we're headed home with 2new tires and a recently replaced tire. …”
