DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THE VALVE STEMS RUPTURED. THE CONSUMER CAUGHT SOME OF THE TIRES BEFORE THEY BLEW OUT. THE FAULTY VALVE STEMS CAUSED THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. THERE ARE ONLY 2,800 MILES ON THE TIRES ON THIS 2004 JAYCO 5TH WHEEL DESIGNER TRAILER. THE CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED JAYCO THROUGH HIS DEALER. JAYCO SAID THEY CONTACTED THE STEM MANUFACTURER AND IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF THE TIRE, AND JAYCO CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THESE TIRES AND IT WAS A TOTAL OF 6 WHEELS ON ALL LOCATIONS, FOUR TIRES WENT AT ONCE. THE OWNER JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE PULLING IN TO A CAMPGROUND WHEN HE NOTICED A PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER HEARD THE AIR LEAKING OUT FROM THE TIRES. THE CONSUMER THEN CONTACTED ROAD ASSISTANCE FOR HELP, BUT HAS NOT DRIVEN ON THE TIRES SINCE RETURNING HOME. THE CONSUMER DOES PLAN ON REPLACING THESE WITH STEEL VALVE STEMS. *NM
