Defect Description:
TIRES
Potential Consequences:
HAD 2 TIRE BLOWOUTS THE SAME DAY ON CASTLE ROCK 225/75 R15 TIRES ON MY 2017 FORREST RIVER FLAGSTAFF TRAVEL TRAILER. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS SET PRIOR TO BEGINNING TRIP AND THE FIRST TIRE WENT WITHIN 30 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE SECOND TIRE WHICH WAS THE SPARE BLEW OUT AFTER 200 MILES, THE SPARE HAD NEVER BEEN IN SERVICE, WAS KEPT PROPERLY INFLATED UNDER A TIRE COVER. ALL TIRES WERE NITROGEN FILLED AND THE TRAILER WAS NEAR ITS STANDARD WEIGHT AS ALL OF THE HOLDING TANKS WERE EMPTY AND ~250 LBS OF ADDITIONAL CARGO OVER THE BASE WEIGHT. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE OTHER TIRES WAS BEGINNING TO SEPARATE AS WELL.
