NHTSA complaint 10138133DT: WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HAD A BLOWOUT AT 55 MPH ON TURNPIKE. THIS HAPPENED ON THE LEFT REAR WHEEL TIRE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE MOTORHOME. TOOK THE TIRE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER, WHO SAID CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE, AND THEY WOULD TAKE THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND SEND IT TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR INSPECTION BY AN ENGINEER. IF THERE WAS A DEFECT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO TAKE TIRE TO DEALER FROM WHERE RV WAS PURCHASED, AND THE DEALER REPLACED TIRE FREE OF CHARGE. LATER AT HOME, CONSUMER NOTED A BUBBLE/BLISTER ON THE LEFT FRONT INSIDE TIRE, AND RETURNED TO DEALER, WHO AGAIN REPLACED TIRE. HOWEVER, CONSUMER WAS FEARFUL THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN CONSIDERING THE REMAINING TIRES ARE THE SAME BRAND.
