| Description of the problem | Tire failure. Tire separated from rim, (inner & outer). This wheel is on the driver side rear axle. Tire rubber remnants destroyed wires to electric brakes. These wires are located on the axle just inside the wheel. The tires on the camper are vail sport st205/75d14. This is the second such failure. The first occurred on 2may14. The failure mechanism was identical except it was on the driver? S side front axle. With 2 identical failures both with vail sport st205/75d14 tires on a brand new camper, it seems that this should be reported. Especially given recent recalls on similar vail sport tires. |
