   ON DEC. 12, 2018, I EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT ON MY 2015 ENTEGRA ASPIRE THAT HAD ABOUT 24,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON I-10, NEAR MARIANNA, FLORDIA AT ABOUT 63MPH. THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE THAT BLEW OUT WAS A GOODYEAR G670 WITH A DATE OF 18/4 (APRIL, 2014). I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE MOTORHOME AND PULL IT OVER SAFELY. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED,NO ONE WAS INJURIED AND MY TOW VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED. THE BLOWOUT BLEW OFF THE FRONT WHEEL WELL FENDER AND DESTROYED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THIS AREA. THE DOOR AND THE ELECTRICAL STEPS WERE DAMAGED. THE PERMANENT STEPS WERE BROKEN AND THE TILES AROUND THE PASSENGER SEAT WERE CRACKED. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RECEIVED A HOLE AND CRACKS OF ABOUT 12 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THE WIRING TO THE BIG AWNING WAS DESTROYED. THESE ARE JUST THE OBVIOUS THINGS I OBSERVED. THE BLOWOUT HAPPENED ABOUT 4:00PM. WE SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. THE POLICE WERE A NO SHOW. ABOUT 10:00PM THE TIRE MAN SHOWED UP. HE REPLACED OUR TIRE AND SAID HE THOUGHT THE MOTORHOME WAS DRIVABLE. I DROVE THE RV TO THE REST AREA THAT WAS ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY. THE WRECKER SERVICE WAS WAITING FOR US AT THE REST AREA. AFTER HE EXAMINED THE MOTORHOME HE THOUGHT I SHOULD DRIVE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP INSTEAD OF HAVING IT TOWED. HE TRIED TO BRING IN THE ELECTRICAL STEPS BUT THEY WOULD NOT COME IN. I PARKED THE COACH IN THE REST AREA FOR THE NIGHT. ON DEC. 13TH, I SLOWLY DROVE THE MOTORHOME TO ALLIANCE COACH IN DAVENPORT, FLORDIA. THE MOTORHOME HAS NOW BEEN IN THE COLLISION CENTER FOR 8 WEEKS. THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE WAS FOR OVER $10,000. THE SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIMS HAVE NOT BEEN FILED YET. THE WIRING WAS MORE COMPLICATED THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. THE FENDER HAS FINALLY COME IN.

   I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 75 NORTHBOUND JUST NORTH OF OCALA, FL WHEN MY 2015 ENTEGRA ASPIRE MOTORHOME SUFFERED A TIRE BLOWOUT TO THE LEFT FRONT STEER TIRE. THE TIRE TYPE IS A GOODYEAR G670RV 295/80R22.5. THERE WERE NO PRIOR INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE. THE INCIDENT RESULTED IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AS WELL AS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE MOTORHOME IN THE WHEEL WELL AREA. THIS AREA HOUSED A WIRING HARNESS AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR THE BODY COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE TIRE BELT FRAGMENTS DAMAGED THE VEHICLE I WAS TOWING AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO ANOTHER PERSON'S VEHICLE WHO WAS BEHIND MY MOTORHOME ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURED MY WIFE POSTED ON AN ENTEGRA SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF TIRE ON THEIR MOTORHOME. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAVE PURCHASED A DIFFERENT BRAND OF REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR THE MOTORHOME AS I DO NOT TRUST THE GOODYEAR TIRES ON THE MOTORHOME. THE DATE CODE ON THE TIRES WERE (1914) SO ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF DRY ROTTING ON THE TIRES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SIT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
