NHTSA Complaint #10213202 — 2006 FOREST RIVER SIERRA

WE WERE TRAVELING APPROX. 5 - 10 MPH (THROUGH A CAMPGROUND) AND ONE OF THE TIRES EXPLODED WITH A LOUD POP. THE EXPLODING TIRE WAS ON OUR RV/TRAVEL TRAILER. OTHER FELLOW CAMPERS NOTICED BUBBLES ON 2 MORE OF THE TIRES INDICATING THEY TOO WOULD EXPLODE. WE DETERMINED THAT THE LOAD RANGE D IS NOT ENOUGH FOR RV'S. WE HAD ANOTHER EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CARLISLE TIRE BEFORE. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR BAD LUCK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CARLISLE TIRE AND THEY SENT ME THE NORMAL "OUT OF WARRANTY" LETTER. THEY HAVE THESE BAD TIRES IN THEIR POSSESSION, AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY ABOUT IT, THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND I'M TIRED OF IT COSTING ME MONEY. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 55 -60 MPH. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. PLEASE GET THESE TIRES OFF THE ROAD. CARLISLE TIRE, RADIAL, ST225/75R15, LOAD RANGE D. P. S. THIS FOREST RIVER PRODUCT IS A CHEROKEE MAKE, BUT COULD NOT FIND CHEROKEE IN YOUR LIST OF OPTIONS, AND WAS FORCED TO CHOOSE SIERRA. SINCERELY, SUZIE AYCOCK *TR
