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 Apr 27, 2007
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.

A GOODYEAR MARATHON ST225/75R15 MANUFACTURED 3206 WAS REMOVED FROM THE SPARE TIRE MOUNT ON OUR 2007 JAYCO EAGLE TRAVEL TRAILER, GVWR 9500 LBS,AND WAS MOUNTED ON THE LEFT REAR POSITION DURING THE SECOND WEEK OF JULY 08. WHILE TOWING, WEIGHT OF TRAILER APPROXIMATELY 7500 LBS, ON I-5 OREGON AT 3:00 PM AT 55 MPH WE WERE SIGNALED BY THE DRIVER OF ANOTHER VEHICLE TO PULL OVER. WHEN WE DID HE ADVISED US THAT THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD JUST CAME APART AND DAMAGED THE REAR OF THE TRAILER. TOTAL MILES ON THAT TIRE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS 591.34 MILES. THIS TIRE HAD BEEN BALANCED, AIR PRESSURE CHECKED REGULARLY, SET AT 65 PSI, AND WAS COVERED TO PROTECT FROM SUN DAMAGE. INSPECTION OF THE TIRE REVEALED THAT THE TREAD BELT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CASING, BEATING AGAINST THE TRAILER. THIS CONTACT CAUSED APPROX $5-6,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE SIDE AND UNDER SIDE OF THE TRAILER. WHEN THE DAMAGED TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE TIRE THE AIR PRESSURE WAS CHECKED AND WAS STILL 65 PSI. THIS IS THE THIRD GOODYEAR MARATHON TRAILER TIRE THAT HAS SEPARATED THE TREAD FROM THE CASING WHILE I WAS TOW A TRAVEL TRAILER. THE OTHER TWO WERE TURNED INTO GOODYEAR DEALERS FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS TIRE IS BEING SAVED BY OWNER AT THE REQUEST OF OUR INSURANCE AGENT. *TR
