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.

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.

I had 3 of these same tire blow within a week and a half of each other. All 3 tires were installed new on my camper trailer at factory. The camper was purchased in August 2021. The tires are Castle Rock ST Radial 226 size ST225/75/ R15. It appears the sidewalls failed leading to tread separation and in one case, the tread separation led to several hundreds of dollars of damage to the camper itself. My safety was at risk due to having to pull over and change the blown tires while on the side of the interstate. debris from the tread separation could have damaged other vehicles or caused drivers to wreck attempting to avoid colliding with tire components. The tires were not professionally inspected but I may be able to save one for inspection if a response is made quickly. There was no prior warning of the failure due to no installed equipment. Pictures included are of the 3rd tire that failed and the damage it caused.
