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.
0
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.

ST205/75R15 Load Range D. Purchased 4 of these Trailer King Tires for Simple Tire, Installed on a 7x14 Wells Cargo Enclosed trailer that carries my lawn equipment. 1 of the Tires came apart crossing a bridge, another started coming apart, and the other 2 showed wear almost to the replacement indicators. Followed the instruction of the seller "Simple Tire" and had inspections completed by a tire company and Simple Tire replied. Hello Thanks for reaching out about your warranty claim status on order# XXXXXXX . I understand how disappointing this would be. I apologize for disruption that you’ve experienced because of this. I just followed-up with the warehouse to see if they have an update, unfortunately below is the update from the warehouse / supplier - "There is no mileage warranty on Trailer King Trailer Tires." Since the ​tire is not covered under manufacturer’s warranty, it sounds like you are ineligible for a replacement/ refund. Once again, ​I apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing recently due to this. We value your time and patience, have a great day! Shailesh These tires are year and 5 months old and under 2000 miles.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
