ODI #10888258

Incident: April 4, 2016 · Filed: July 25, 2016

WE WERE JUST LEAVING AZ IN APRIL 2016 TRAVELING NORTH ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE PASSENGER TIRE ON OUR 2014 JAYCO EAGLE PREMIER FIFTH WHEEL EXPLODED. I HAVE A TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE TIRES AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD PRIOR TO THE BLOWOUT. THE TIRES ARE TOWMAX 235X80X16. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE SAME HIGHWAY. ABOUT 8 MILES LATER THE TIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BLEW. SINCE MY SPARE WAS ALREADY IN USE I HAD TO LIMP DOWN THE HIGHWAY 6 MILES ON THE SHOULDER TO GET TO AN EXIT WHERE I COULD SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THE TOWMAX TIRES CAME WITH THE TRAILER NEW AND HAD ABOUT 3000 MILES ON THEM. THE RV WAS UNDER THE MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY AND I DRIVE NO MORE THAN 65 PULLING THE TRAILER. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE RV AND THE TIRES ALSO DESTROYED THE WIRING TO THE ELECTRIC BRAKES. STOPPING A 14000 POUND TRAILER WITH A BLOWN TIRE AND NO BRAKES AT 65 MPH IS A HARROWING EXPERIENCE. I FOUND A TIRE STORE IN HENDERSON NV THAT REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON TIRES AND REPAIRED THE BRAKES. I CALLED JAYCO AND THEY HAD ME DROP OFF THE TIRES AT A LOCAL JAYCO DEALER. I ALSO FILED A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH TOWMAX. NO RESULTS..
