NHTSA Complaint #11591838 — 2022 WINNEBAGO EKKO

Belt separation occurred at legal highway speed, specified inflation pressure, and within load parameters of the vehicle. Many other owners have reported the same occurring. The belt separation caused the tire to be out of round and caused severe vibration. We recognized the problem because of similar reports from other owners, pulled off the road, and exchanged the tire for the spare. Within a few days we were able to procure seven new tires and have them installed. Discount Tire on Ben White in Austin probably discarded the old tires but confirmed that there was belt separation. You could see the bulging in a couple places on the tread. If we had suffered a blowout, as some other owners of this model have, it would have been life-threatening at Texas highway speeds of 75 mph.
