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.

Latest Nov 22, 2010
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.

I HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 4 CARLISLE TIRE BLOWOUTS AND THE RECENT WAS A TREAD SEPARATION ON 7-21-12. 3 YEARS AGO, CARLISLE REPLACED MY 4 BLOWOUTS WITH 10 PLY ST225/75/R15. TIRES ARE ON 2006 CANYON TRAIL 5TH WHEEL. ON 7-21-12, I HAD TREAD SEPARATE ON ONE TIRE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY OTHERS WILL GO VERY SOON NOW. ALL TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THEM. ALL TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED, NOT OVERLOADED, AND DRIVEN AT 55 MPH. THEY ARE LIFTED OFF GROUND DURING WINTER MONTHS AND ALWAYS COVERED WHEN PARKED. THESE TIRES NEED SERIOUS REVIEW. ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS INJURED, MY TRAILER DID SWERVE AROUND BETWEEN LANES WHICH LUCKILY NO ONE WAS NEXT TO ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURIES OR DEATH. THESE TIRES ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS IS MY 6TH PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND SIZE TIRES. PLEASE CONDUCT A PROMPT REVIEW OF THIS AND ALL OTHER CARLISLE TIRES. PREVIOUSLY THE TIRES CAUSED $1800 DAMAGE TO TRAILER, I HAVE NOT GOT AN ESTIMATE ON THIS LATEST YET SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED BUT I AM SURE $ WILL BE THE SAME AS IT APPEAR ABOUT THE SAME DAMAGE AGAIN. I AM FED UP WITH CARLISLE AND SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR TIRES. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS - SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE VERY FAST BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. *TR
