Reporting Potentially Defective Tires

If your tire is officially recalled, you should be notified by the manufacturer and/or the tire should be replaced at no additional expense. If you have a complaint about your tire and it is not recalled, it is important that you report the issue so that your brand and line of tire can be investigated further.

Your first course of action is to call the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHTSA) or file an online complaint with their online website, Safercar.gov. Consumers may also want to file a complaint with the Center for Auto Safety (CAS), an organization that researches automotive issues, including defective tires.

It is also a good idea to share your complaint with the website CarComplaints.com. This free website allows consumers and law firms to report and investigate complaints and claims.

When Should You Seek Advice from an Attorney?

Not every defective tire results in the need for a tire defect attorney. But, if you have suffered significant economic losses or have been personally injured because of a suspected tire defect, you may want to seek legal guidance.
