THE FIRST SET OF TIRES FREESTAR RADIAL S/T 235/80/16 LOAD RANGE E WERE REPLACED BY MISSION TIRE AFTER 3280 MILE BECAUSE OF SIDEWALL FAILURE, THE TIRES SENT TO REPLACE THE BAD ONES LASTED 1680 MILES. THEY HAVE TREAD SEPARATION AND WALL RUPTURE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO RECOUP MY TIRE COST. THESE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY USE,BECAUSE OF BLOWOUT OR TREAD LOSS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO ONE WAS INJURED BECAUSE OF THE TIRE PROBLEMS BUT VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. SEVEN OF THE EIGHT TIRE I HAVE HAD WERE A DEATH TRAP IN MY OPINION AND I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER TIRE MANUFACTURED BY NANKANG OR SOLD THROUGH MISSION TIRE. THE TIRES IN THIS COMPLAINT ARE ALL TIRES ON THE TRAILER TANDEM AXEL FRONT AND REAR. IF THERE HAD BEEN A BLOWOUT BECAUSE OF THESE TIRES THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE OR EVEN DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR

ON AUGUST 29, 2009, I WAS DRIVING MY 5TH WHEEL CAMPER ON THE RT. 50 CHOPTANK RIVER BRIDGE95. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE, OF MY MONTANA RV, DELAMINATED WHILE DRIVING ACROSS THE BRIDGE. THIS TIRE FAILURE CAUSED APPROXIMATELY $2200 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO MY MONTANA. THE ERIE INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND TOOK CUSTODY OF THE MISSION TIRE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT BECKELYS RV SHOP LOOKED AT THE 2 REMAINING ORIGINAL MISSION TIRES AND THE TREAD ON ONE IS APPROXIMATELY 90 % SEPARATED AND THE OTHER IN ABOUT 75% SEPARATED AT THIS TIME. NOTE: THE MISSION BRAND TIRE WAS NOT IN THE DROP DOWN MENU FOR TIRES, SO I PICKED AGWAY G7014 AS MY CHOICE, BUT THE ACTUAL TIRE WAS A MISSION TIRE. PLEASE ADD MISSION TIRE AS A CHOICE IN THE DROP DOWN MENU. *TR

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V755-5127.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
