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.

TREAD SEPARATION ON FIRESTONE TIRE, NOTE THAT THE TIRE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT, SMOOTH PAVED HIGHWAY AT OR BELOW LAWFUL SPEED LIMIT. DRIVER DETECTED SEPARATION IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE BEFORE DEFLATION OCCURRED. TIRE STILL HAD THE REQUIRED INFLATION OF 80# FOR THE CAMPER THAT WAS ON THE TRUCK. TIRE WAS THEN CHANGED AND TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT. TIRE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE NO ROAD DAMAGE LEADING TO THE TREAD SEPARATION AND TIRE PRESSURE HAD NOT BEEN AN ISSUE. TIRE STILL HAD WELL OVER HALF OF THE TREAD REMAINING. THE TIRE WAS THE FOLLOWING: STEELTEX RADIAL A/T LT245/75R16 LOAD E DA807T-C22D E4 DOT VN11 BAC 008009008009. WE HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TIRE TO RETURN HOME FROM OUR VACATION. IS THIS ON OF THE RECALLED SERIES OF TIRES, AND SHOULD WE HAVE THE OTHER THREE REPLACED ALSO? *JB

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

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.
