Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

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
