NHTSA Complaint #10170375 — 2004 FOREST RIVER WILDCAT

WE WERE HAULER OUR 28' WILDCAT TRAVEL TRAILER ON OUR WAY TO RENO. ABOUT 40 MILES SOUTH OF LONE PINE WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE RIGHT FRONT TRAILER TIRE. THE ONE NEXT TO IT WAS SEPARATED ALSO. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW IT TOOK OUT THE FENDER SKIRT AND ALL THE INSULATION AND SKIN DIRECTLY ABOVE THE TIRE. I HAD TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE AND TRAVELED TO LONE PINE AT 45 MPH AND SPENT THE NIGHT THERE AS IT WAS TOO LATE TO GO TO THE TIRE STORE. THE NEXT MORNING WE WENT TO MILLER TOWING AND TIRES IN LONE PINE AND GOT 5 NEW TIRES. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE COUNTER DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE TRAILER YET AND ASKED ME IF WE HAD CARLISLE TIRES AND I TOLD HIM YES. HE SAID THEY SEE THESE TIRES BLOW AND REPLACE THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME I HAD TO ORDER A NEW FENDER SKIRT, AS OF TODAY IT HASN'T COME IN YET. *NM
