Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We operate 6 brand new Peterbilt 388 car haulers. Every truck randomly blows drive inside tire. Once tire blows it can blow adjacent tire. So far we had about 20 blow out in 2 month time. Only solution so far we found was to reroute exhaust pipe to the side and replace tires to all position tires. No reimbursement from Peterbilt. Called every possible number, but no response. This is a factory defect and exhaust causes inside tire to overheat and cause blow out. Tires blow every 1000-3000 miles. We have spend over 30,000$ on road calls and tire replacement so far.”
