Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

AS I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I270 AROUND COLUMBUS, OHIO AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE RV TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE TIRE HAD A LITTLE OVER 5,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE INVOLVED IS A MICHELIN X 225/70R 19.5 XRV. WHEN THE TIRE EXPLODED, IT TOOK OUT A SHIELD PROTECTING THE PROPANE TANK. I THINK THE SHIELD ALSO TOOK OUT TWO WIRES CONNECTED TO THE PROPANE TAKE SINCE THE WIRES WERE RIPPED FROM WHERE THEY BELONGED. A LITTLE MORE FORCE AND THE PROPANE TANK COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE WHEEL AS WELL AS THE WHEEL COVER WERE DESTROYED AS WELL. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT INVOLVING MICHELIN RV TIRES. THIS IS THE REASON FOR WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. ALSO, I HAVE THREE OTHER MICHELIN TIRES ON THE RV WHICH I PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ONE THAT EXPLODED AND QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THOSE TIRES ON THERE. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
