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.

IHAVE FOUR FIRESTONE FIREHAWK R4S TIRES SIZE 30X9.50R15. AMOUNT OF MILES ON TIRES EQUALS 32,748;TREAD DEPTH EQUALS 8/32. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAS FAILED. IT HAS A LARGE BULGE IN THE TREAD. THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW OUT BECAUSE I CAUGHT IT IN TIME. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, BUT I AM AFRAID OF THE TIRES. I WILL SAVE THE TIRE ON RIM FOR INSPECTION IF NEEDED. I THINK I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION EVEN THOUGH THIS SIZE AND MODEL IS NOT ON RECALL LIST.( DOT NUMBER: VD664RA132 TIRE SIZE: 30X9.50R15 )
