I WAS TOWING A THOR JAZZ 2800RK 5TH WHEEL EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10, NEAR PALM SPRING CA. TEMPERATURE ABOUT 75 DEGREES. THE TRAILER AND TRUCK WERE NOT OVER LOADED. THE COLD TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED AT 80 PSI ABOUT ONE HOUR BEFORE WE HAD THE FIRST BLOW OUT. TWO 28 MONTH OLD CARLISLE RADIAL TIRES WITH LESS THAN 1100 MILES BLEW OUT. THE SECOND TIRE (NOT THE SPARE) BLEW OUT LESS THAN 20 MILES FROM THE POINT WHERE THE FIRST TIRE BLEW. THE FIRST TIRE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXEL OF THE RV AND THE SECOND TIRE WAS WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR AXEL. THERE WAS NO ROAD HAZARD INVOLVED. BOTH TIRE EXPLODED.

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
