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 May 15, 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.

Filed Sep 21, 2007

I HAVE GOODYEAR MARATHON ST 225/75/15 D TIRES ON BRAND NEW (MAY 2007) 2007 CARMATE 24 FOOT TRAILER. I DROVE THE TRAILER TO SALT LAKE CITY (SLC), BACK TO FREDERICK, MD, THAN BACK TO SLC. SO, WITH ABOUT 8,000 MILES (JULY 14 NOW) ON THE TIRES - I NOTICE "AIR BUBBLES" IN THE SIDEWALL JUST ABOVE THE RIM. I CALL LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALERS, AND NONE HAVE THE TIRES IN STOCK (I DO HEAR THOUGH THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, SEVERAL NON GOODYEAR DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN THESE TIRES OFF DUE TO ISSUES WITH THESE TIRES). I DECIDE TO PUT THE SPARE TIRE ON (ALSO A MARATHON) AND CONTINUE MY JOURNEY TO SIERRA VISTA, AZ. NEAR PRICE, AZ I NOTICE ANOTHER "AIR BUBBLE" IN A DIFFERENT TIRE. NOT WISHING TO TAKE A CHANCE ON A BLOW-OUT (NO GOOD SPARE TIRE LEFT) I BUY NEW TIRES (BIG O THIS TIME), BECAUSE THERE ARE NO MARATHON TIRES IN STOCK IN PRICE, AZ. ARRIVING IN SIERRA VISTA, AZ I TALK TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP ABOUT THESE TIRES. HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, BUT CAN NOT HELP ME BECAUSE HE IS NOT A "AUTHORIZED" GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP ANY LONGER. DUE TO NEW JOB AND HOUSE HUNTING I LET THE REPLACEMENT ISSUE DROP FOR AWHILE. SEPTEMBER 20, 2007. I HAVE PERFOMED SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET, AND WHILE NOT SEEING THE ISSUE WITH "AIR BUBBLES" I SEE PLENTY OF ISSUES CONCERNING "BLOWOUTS" WITH THESE TIRES (WERE THERE AIR BUBBLES FIRST?). I CALL GOODYEAR HQ AND AM GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND A TUCSON DEALERSHIP TO TAKE THE TIRES TOO. OVERALL I AM WRITING THIS LETTER/COMPLAINT TO SAY THAT: 1) THERE SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM (AT LEAST AMONG THE PUBLIC AND DEALERSHIPS (GOODYEAR & OTHER MANUFACTURES)) WITH THESE TIRES. 2) (DEPENDENT UPON THE OUTCOME TOMORROW) GOODYEAR SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ON THE DEFECTIVE TIRE ISSUE. *TR
