What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1995 Bounder Motorhome, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
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
