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.

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.

SUBJECT:MILESTAR TIRES ON COACHMEN TRAVEL TRAILER COMMENTS: I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 32' COACHMEN TRAVEL TRAILER IN MAY 2007 WITH MILESTAR 15" LOAD RANGE 'D' TIRES ON IT. I DROVE THE TRAILER FROM MICHIGAN TO GLACIER NATIONAL PARK IN JULY 2007, AFTER 1700 MILES THE TIRES WHERE WORN BALD. I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH GOODYEAR RADIAL TIRES AND DROVE TO YELLOWSTONE AND HOME ANOTHER 3000 MILES AND THE GOODYEAR TIRES WORN FINE. THE TRAILER WEIGHTS 8500LBS. COACHMEN PAID BE BACK THE $600 FOR THE TIRES, BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD STOP PUTTING THESE TIRES ON THESE TRAILERS. THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT DIFFERENT, IF I DID NOT NOTICE THEM WEARING OUT. I HAD 65PSI IN THEM, THE TIRES ARE MADE IN CHINA. I HOPE YOU CAN WARN PEOPLE ABOUT THESE TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES IF YOU NEED THEM. THANKS .*JB
