NHTSA Complaint #10239702 — 2007 KEYSTONE OUTBACK

TIRES ARE ON A 2007 KEYSTONE TRAVEL TRAILER. AFTER 6 MONTHS AND 500 MILES THE SIDEWALLS ON THE TIRES WERE CRACKING. IT IS NOW 1.5 YEARS, AND A TOTAL OF 600 MILES AND THE CRACKING IS SEVERE, AND THE TIRES ARE SHOWING SEPARATION WHERE THE NAMEBRAND AND SIZE ARE STAMPED. IN OUTBACK FORUM ONLINE, MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS, INCLUDING TIRE FAILURE AND BLOWOUTS. THE KEYSTONE DEALERS GIVE YOU A NUMBER TO CALL, THE DISTRIBUTOR TIRECO. THEY OFFER REPLACEMENTS IF YOU COMPLAIN WITHOUT HESITATION. BUT THE PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE CONSUMER STILL HAS TO PAY FOR THE MOUNTING AND BALANCING. THEY ALL KNOW THESE TIRES ARE BAD, BUT NO ONE WILL ISSUE A RECALL. WHY?? PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I HAVE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH KEYSTONE RV AND TIRECO (800-937-9433). THEY ARE MILESTAR TIRES. I DON'T KNOW THE MAKER AS THE DISTRIBUTOR WON'T TELL ME. *TR
