Newmar Kountry Aire Fifth Wheel Trailer: Tires

Affects Newmar Kountry Aire Fifth Wheel Trailer · 2011–2012 — about 8 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain Michelin and/or Uniroyal tires, installed on fifth-wheel trailers, the tire tread belt edge may begin to separate from the tire. This would result in ride vibration or irregular wear, and could lead to a loss of tread or rapid loss of air pressure. Tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Also, during tire failure, pieces could become separated from the rim and could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Retailers will replace affected tires.
