Thanks on that, I just got the notice through my service. I have those tires on the TV, but not within the serial number range.

Anybody remember a post a while back where a guy said his sidewalls were rubbing together on his dually and cause a blowout? I wonder if it was this tire and was actually a tire problem.

Tire sizes affected are 17" and 18" which we don't use on a 5th wheel trailer but we do use on our tow vehicles.

Already posted in the tow vehicle forum.
