Typical suspension symptoms owners report

  • Tires develop sidewall bubbles, blisters, or bulges, sometimes leading to a blowout at highway speed.
  • Sudden tire blowouts occur on the front or rear at speeds around 40 to 70 mph, in some cases destroying the tire and damaging the wheel.
  • Tires show uneven or severe cupping wear on the inside edge well before normal tread life is used up.
  • A detached wheel-well flap or loud noise from a front wheel area occurs while driving around 40 mph.
  • Vehicles vibrate at highway speeds despite repeated wheel alignments and tire balancing.
  • Owners report needing multiple tire replacements at low mileage, with sidewall cracking similar to patterns described in a separate tire recall.
