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 MOVED IT TO SPARE AS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE RV REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND THEY WERE DIFF BRAND AND LOAD RANGE. *TR
