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.
0
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.
1
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

I PURCHASED A 2007 SUNNY BROOK 33CKTS IN JUNE OF 2007. THIS CAM WITH KENDA LOADSTAR TIRES ST235/80R16 E. WITH LESS THAT 5000 MILES ON THESE TIRES, ONE HAD A BULGE ON THE TREAD AND DEVELOPED A LEAK WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. I CALLED KENDA AND THEY SENT THE WRONG REPLACEMENT TIRE, SO I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT LOCALLY. ON OUR NEXT TRIP WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON A SECOND LOADSTAR TIRE. WHILE CHANGING THAT ONE I NOTICE A BULGE ON THE TREAD OF A THIRD TIRE BY THIS MANUFACTURER. WE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES, AND THE TIRE STORE SAID THE THIRD ONE WAS FAILING. THE BLOW OUT ON THE SECOND TIRE WAS AS THE SAME POINT OF FAILURE AS THE FIRST WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. ON SEARCHING FOR OTHER INFORMATION ON THESE TIRES I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINT FORUMS REFERRING TO THESE TIRES ALL FAILING IN A SHORT TIME. I CAN NOT REACH THE MANAGEMENT OF SUNNY BROOK TO LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE USING DEFECTIVE TIRES, AND KENDA USA HAS NOT REIMBURSED ME FOR THE FIRST TIRE EVEN THOUGH I SENT THEM THE DOT ON THE FIRST FAILED TIRE. MY CONVERSATION WITH THEM ON THE 2ND AND 3RD TIRE WAS FOLLOWED BY E-MAIL AS THEIR REQUEST,AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT RESPONDED. MY CLAIM # WITH THEM IS 7555, AND 7621. THESE TIRES WERE LESS THAN TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF MANUFACTURER AND WERE ALWAYS KEPT COVERED AND AT PROPER INFLATION. *TR
