From owner reports, verbatim

The contact owns a 2028 Forest River Sierra travel trailer equipped with Goodyear Tires, Tire Line: Marathon ST Trailer tire, Tire Size: 225/75/R15, DOT Number: 2V HH BLHV. The contact stated that while towing the trailer and driving approximately 20 MPH, the front passenger’s side tire experienced tread separation and a blowout. The contact was able to maintain control of the vehicle and safely stop the vehicle. The tire had approximately 20 miles of use at the time of the failure. The tire was removed and replaced, but the trailer was not towed. The tire was inspected by an independent mechanic, who confirmed the tread separation and the blowout. There was no crash, injuries, or property damage reported. The tire manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a representative would follow up; however, the contact had not received a callback. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.
