Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

I TALKED TO SCOTT GRIFFIN AT METZELER AND THEY REPLACED THE TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW THE DATE CODE ON THE TIRE BECAUSE THEY TOOK THEM. THIS TIRE MODEL SHOULD BE CHECKED.
