While driving our dutch star motorhome on northbound highway 101 at 55 mph in the los angeles ca. Area and in the far right lane of the 4 lane freeway, the coach suddenly veered sharply to the left and I had no steering control at all. There was a very loud screeching roaring noise coming from the left front tire as the coach instantly crossed all of the remaining 3 lanes of heavy traffic and impacted the concrete center divider at freeway speed and at approximately a 45 degree angle to the lanes of traffic. The...

coach was deflected after is slammed into the concrete barrier and then slid another 300 feet along the wall until it came to rest on the wall in the center median. Upon later examining the undercarriage of the motor home once it was towed to the impound yard and placed up on blocks, I noticed that the steering casting that is connected to the left front wheel tie rod had broken allowing the front left wheel to immediately turn to the full left turn position which caused me to have absolutely no steering control as we veered toward the 4 lanes of oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes that were traveling at around 65 to 70 mph. My wife and I want to warn others of a possible defect in other steering castings of the same design that could cause another wreck with the high probability of serious injuries or death. The motorhome was a total loss. *Tr
I was driving down the interstate in the right hand lane, slowing down due to sign that showed uneven pavement, drove onto the bridge, driving over the uneven pavement and apparently, the camper spare tire and the mounting bracket holding the spare tire came off the camper. After looking in my rear view mirror to see if the camper had stayed on the hitch, I observed the cars behind me were swerving and slamming on their brakes. I told my husband to call 911 as there must have been an accident behind me because...

now there was no traffic coming. A van flagged me over at the end of the bridge to tell me what had happened as I was unaware of what was going on behind me. The spare tire and its mounting bracket bounced down the interstate apparently bouncing over this van that had flagged me over for skimming the van's top. Tire and bracket ended up in median on bridge and could not be retrieved because the sheriff said it was too dangerous to do so. The warranty was up on 4/15/07 so nothing was repaired /replaced. We went back 2 days later and the tire and mounting bracket were gone but camper is available for inspection. *Jb
The tread separated from the tire. The tread started hitting other vehicles on the interstate. The 3 tires supplied were carlisle tires for my dutchmen voyager fold-down camper. I was sent 2 replacement tires through the mail. *Jb
Carlisle tires on travel trailer, had 1 tire blow out while traveling,less than 1000 miles on them. Seems like something should be done about this before somebody gets killed. Damage to new trailer and costs out of my pocket for junk tires. *Nm
