A big chunk of tread separated from the tire while on a 3000 mile trip. We believe it occurred when we were nearly home and were lucky that there was no blowout. There was no damage to the tire that we are aware of but it could have been very dangerous situation.
The contact owns a 2021 Ram Promaster 1500 equipped with Nexen Tires, Tire Line: Rodian CT8, Tire Size: P225/75/R16, DOT Number: 8EAKHMEL3420. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the passenger's side rear tire experienced tread separation. The contact was able to replace the tire with the spare. While driving, the driver's side rear tire also experienced tread separation, and the vehicle became difficult to control. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate tire mileage was 1,000. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 13,304.
Complaints are voluntarily submitted to the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation and are not verified by NHTSA; they represent owner-reported problems, not proven defects. Counts can be useful as a relative quality signal across comparable tires or vehicles.
What to do if a tire on your vehicle is recalled
- Find your tire's DOT code. The DOT date code is on the tire sidewall; the last four digits are the week and year of manufacture (e.g.
2419= week 24 of 2019). Recalls apply to specific production windows, so this tells you whether your tire is in scope. - Check the campaign. Enter the NHTSA campaign number (linked in each notice above) at the free NHTSA recall lookup, or search by your tire brand and model.
- Claim the free remedy. Under U.S. law, a recalled tire is remedied at no cost by the manufacturer; typically free replacement. Contact the tire maker or the dealer that sold the tire; you do not pay for a recall remedy.
- Register your tires. Registering with the manufacturer (tire shops can do this at install) means you are notified directly of future recalls instead of finding out by chance.
