Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THE PILLAR STICKER PLACED BY ROADTREK INCORRECTLY DESCRIBED THE TIRES AS LT225/75R16 AND RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES OF 65/80, WHEN IN FACT THE FACTORY TIRES SUPPLIED WERE LT245/7516 WITH LOWER RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURES (50/65) FOR THE LOADED VEHICLE. ROADTREK PLACED THEIR STICKER (AT TIME OF RV CONVERSION) OVER WHAT I ASSUME TO BE THE PARTIALLY PEALED OFF (SPRINTER/MERCEDES) FACTORY PILLAR STICKER, WHICH WAS READABLE THROUGH THE ROADTREK STICKER AND INDICATED A TIRE SIZE OF LT245/75R16. THIS WAS ONLY DISCOVERED BY ME LAST MONTH JUNE 2012, WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES AT 35,000 MILES DUE TO EXTREME WEAR (3/32 ALL FOUR). I BELIEVE THE INCORRECT PILLAR STICKER PRESSURE RECOMMENDATION IS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO RUNNING THE TIRES AT HIGHER THAN APPROPRIATE PRESSURES. *TR
