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.

Hello NHTSA, On 05/15/26, I was driving on [XXX] southbound when the sidewall of my Michelin X Line Energy Z steer axle tire failed and blew out. The tire was purchased on 12/23/25 and was made in [XXX] . When the tire blew, dark thing spread onto the hood, bumper, and side of my truck. I have attached images showing the damage and the failed tire. Thankfully, I was driving at about 55 mph, remained in control of the vehicle, and no one was injured. The tire tread was still in excellent condition at the time of the incident. For safety reasons, I was forced to replace both steer tires immediately. I have also attached the invoice along with the photos I recorded. P.S. I was unable to upload/download the video file successfully. Thank you.

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.
