Showing safety data for the 1996 model year only.
COUNTRY COACH HAS REPORTED THAT THE TOYO 275/70R M102Z TIRES ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY.
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE MOTOR HOMES WERE ERRONEOUSLY ASSIGNED INADEQUATE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES AND INADEQUATE AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS ON THE FRONT AND/OR REAR AXLES AS A RESULT OF MATHEMATICAL MISCALCULATIONS.
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INEQUITABLE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT TIRES ON THE FRONT AXLE. THIS WEIGHT INEQUITY CAN CAUSE THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WEIGHT RATING TO BE EXCEEDED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. THESE MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSIGNED AN INADEQUATE FRONT AXLE WEIGHT RATING (FAWR). AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE FRONT BRAKE CANISTERS AND SLACK ADJUSTERS DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
THE "O" RINGS OF THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IN THE ONAN EMERALD AND MARQUIS BRAND GENERATOR SETS CAN WEAKEN AND BREAK WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 COUNTRY COACH INTRIGUE EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR G159 TIRES, SIZE: 265/75/R22.5 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE INNER DUAL TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT WITH AN EXTENSIVE HOLE IN THE INNER SIDEWALLS. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED AND A TECHNICIAN CHANGED THE INNER DUAL TIRE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN, DOT NUMBER, AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE. I HAVE MY OWN COMPRESSOR AND FILL THE TIRES RELIGIOUSLY. 4 OF 5 TIRES HOLD PRESSURE ALL WINTER LONG. THIS TIRE IS ONE OF THEM. NO OVER SPEED AND NO LOW PRESSURE CAUSED THIS FAILURE. UPDATED 10/16/18*JB

FRONT LEFT TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. A BOAT WAS BEING TOWED AT THE TIME OF THE BLOW OUT. THIS OCCURRED AFTER THE FMVSS120/WEIGHT DISTRIBUTOR RECALL 01V170000 WAS PERFORMED.*AK
