TIRES ON OUR MOTORHOME ARE G159. WE HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE THE SIDEWALLS BLOW OUT. TWO INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING THE MOTORHOME. THE LAST INCIDENT, THE TIRE WAS LEANING UP AGAINST A WALL AT THE LOCAL NAPA GARAGE AND THE TIRE BLEW. IT IS LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED. WE CONTACTED GOODYEAR WITH NO SATISFACTION/RESOLUTION TO OUR COMPLAINT.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP FAILURE DUE TO INADEQUATE FUEL DELIVERY. THIS PUMP IS A BOSCH VP44 PUMP AND ACCORDING TO THE CUMMINS BLOG WEBSITES AND THE FACTORY AUTHORIZED DEALER, THIS PART HAS A 100% FAILURE RATE. WHEN THE PUMP FAILS THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND DOESN'T RESTART. MY VEHICLE IS A 25000 POUND MOTOR HOME, AND WHEN IT DIES OUT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. BOSCH AND CUMMINS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST THE CUSTOMER IN ANY WAY EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT THAT IT IS A DESIGN FAULT. IN THEIR WORDS "WE ADMIT THAT IT WASN'T OUR BEST DESIGN". ACCORDING TO THE BLOGS THIS IS THE ISSUE: THE MOST COMMON MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE VP44 PUMP IS RUPTURING OF THE DIAPHRAGM
