Complaint Summary

TIRES

Owner Narrative

I HAVE HAD 4 KUMHO LIGHT TRUCK TIRES FAIL ON MY MOTORHOME THIS SUMMER IN RAPID SUCCESSION. EVERY TIME THEY WERE REPLACED, I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE BELT SEPARATED INTERNALLY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND THE KUMHO TIRE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN HAVING THE DOT NUMBER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE INITIATED. *KB
