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.

SERIAL # ANOR LT U460. TIRE HAS 10/32" TREAD, TREAD PEELED OFF LIKE A RECAP RIPPING OUT FRONT AND REAR SIDE PANELS, HAD TO BE TOWED FROM SCENE. WE HAVE THE TIRE AND THE PEELED OFF TREAD FOR INSPECTION. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH RUBBER WAS NOT PROPERLY BONDED TO CASING. WE CONTACTED U.S.ROYAL WHO DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. THIS COULD HAS BEEN A DISASTEROUS ACCIDENT HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN GOING FASTER, VEHICLE HAD JUST STARTED FROM STOP SIGN, TURNED RIGHT AND STARTED GOING UPHILL WHENN TREAD PEELED OFF WITH TREMENDOUS NOISE DAMAGING SIDE OF VEHICLE. TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED AND VEHICLE WAS NOT LOADED WITH MORE THAN 150 LBS PLUS DRIVER. WE FEEL THAT MANUFACTURER IS TURNING AWAY FROM A POSSIBLE RECALL SITUATION. WE HAVE TIRE CASING STILL MOUNTED ON RIM AND THE TREAD COMPLETE WHICH SEPERATED FROM CASING. PLEASE COMMENT. *AK
