TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 PRIME TIME CRUSADER EQUIPPED WITH POWER KING TOWMAX TIRES, SIZE: 225/80/16R (NA). WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT CONTINUED OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE TOW COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AND REPLACED THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE SHOP WHERE ALL THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DOT NUMBER AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000.
ON OUR 2013 CRUSADER WE EXPERIENCED OUR FIRST BLOWOUT. ON 4/25/14 ABOUT 4 MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR ON NEWLY BLACKTOP ROAD(LEFT REAR). WITH ONLY 2000 MILES ON THE CAMPER NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. ON 10/24/14 ABOUT 30 MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR OUR SECOND BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON RIGHT FRONT. THIS TIME EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO SLIDE TRIM, TIRE SKIRT, STEPS, TIRE AND RIM. THE TIRES WERE POWER KING TOMAX, ST235/80R16 E. WE FEEL THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
