INITIALLY EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPERATION DURING ANNUAL CHECK IN OCT 99. REPLACED TIRE AND PUT TRAILER IN STORAGE. IN JULY WHEN TAKING THE TRAILER OUT OF STORAGE, THE "NEW" TIRE TREAD JUST PEELED OFF. I TOWED THE UNIT TO THE TRAILER DEALER, RV TRADERS, FOR CORRECTION. THE DEALER UPON FURTHER INSPECTION NOTED THAT THE REMAING OEM TIRES (3), WITH APPROX 10,000 MILES, WERE ALSO STARTING TO SEPERATE. I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON VACATION, SO HAD TO INSTALL (4) NEW TIRES (GOODYEAR). RV TRADERS IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO RE-IMBURSE ME AT $50.00 PER TIRE AFTER I SENT A LETTER TO THE MANU DESCRIBIONG THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS I DID ON JULY 21, 2000. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN CHELSEA, MA.( DOT NUMBER: CFKCMT2389 TIRE SIZE: ST205/75R1 )

Tires
ORIGINAL TIRES GOODRICH P 245/75R 16 ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR TOWING, TOO WEAK TO WITHSTAND PRESSURE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES. ONE OR BOTH FRONT BRAKE ROTOR/HUBS WERE BUILT WITH AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION GRAY IRON THAT CAN FAIL DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH A CRACKED ROTOR, THE CRACKS COULD CONTINUE AROUND THE WHEEL MOUNTING BOLT CIRCLE AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A WHEEL SEPARATION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ROTORS FOR A CORE DATE OF "287" AND, IF FOUND, REPLACE THE ROTOR.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY EXTENDED-CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND 4-DOOR UTILITY TRUCKS. THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT TO STEERING GEAR PINCH BOLT IS "FINGER LOOSE" OR MISSING ALLOWING THE BOLT TO LOOSEN AND FALL OUT. THE STEERING SHAFT YOKE CAN WEAR CAUSING AN OFF CENTER STEERING WHEEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND CAB CAN CAUSE THE STEERING SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR. THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS ARE ARRANGING TO HAVE THE VEHICLES INVOLVED TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION IS BEING ARRANGED FOR OWNERS. DEALERS WILL THEN INSPECT THE VEHICLE FOR THE PRESENCE OF A PINCH BOLT AND TORQUE THIS BOLT TO PROPER SPECIFICATIONS.
