What owners report
The contact owns a 2014 Forest River Cherokee Travel trailer RV equipped with Lions Head tires, Tire Line: Val sports, Tire Size ST205/75/D18 n/a, and DOT Number: unknown. The contact stated while the RV was parked, they notice an issue with the rear passenger side tire where cracks and bubbles had formed, as well the tread on the tires separated. The tires were not replaced. The tires were not replacement tires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The tire failure mileage approximately 3,000.
AT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THE GREY WOLF TRAVEL TRAILER, A TIRE DISINTEGRATED AND DAMAGED THE UNDER-LINING OF THE RECREATION VEHICLE ON MAY 27, 2016. THE TIRES WERE INFLATED TO 50PSI BEFORE STARTING THE TRIP. THEY WERE CHECKED FOR HEAT AT 100 MILES INTO THE TRIP AND NO EXTREME HEAT CONDITION WAS NOTICED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH 1, 2015, SO THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TRAILER AND THE TIRES ARE CLAIMING THAT ANY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, NOW THAT IT IS MAY OF 2016. WE TRAVELLED ON WELL MAINTAINED ROADS AND DID NOT SEE ANY DEBRIS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING IF THESE TIRES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN NHSTB ITEM 14T001. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A RV RENTAL COMPANY WITH A FLEET OF 15 OF THESE TRAILERS, THE INTERIOR LIGHT WIRING OF THE LIGHTS WILL MELT AT THE BUTTON WHEN LEFT ON FOR A EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I HAD THIS HAPPEN QUITE A FEW TIMES AND IT COULD POSE A FIRE SINCE ITS MELTING NEAR THE INSTALLATION ON THE UNIT. I HAVE PHOTOS TO SUPPORT MY CLAIM. *TT
