I purchased a set of five (including the spare) new carlisle trailer tires in early 2009 from discount tire in columbus, ohio. The tires are carlisle st205/75r-15/d1 radial trail. These were replacement tires for the original travel trailer tires which were a load range c, the radial trail's are load range d. Since that time one tire failed during a trip in june of 2010 and was replaced at a discount tire in ogden, utah. Later in october of 2010 on our most recent trip three of the remaining carlisle tires failed. I replaced four tires at that time in oklahoma city at a discount tire. I have since placed my trailer in storage. Upon inspection of the tires on my trailer I noticed sidewall bulge on two of the new replacement carlisle tires exactly in the same spot as the four tires that failed. This is with less than 30 days in storage. I no longer feel safe towing my trailer with these tires. Six (6) tire failures in this amount of time and on basically brand new tires is outrageous. Fortunately, there have been no personal injuries or equipment damage to this point from the tire failures, but it is just a matter of time before one or both happen. My travel trailer is a 2008 prowler 250 cks. I have filed a claim with carlisle tire and wheel but felt compelled to report this failure as a definite safety issue with a potential for a loss of life.

- What is wrong
- On certain recreational vehicles, the power lift roof system, which consists of a power lift motor and current limiter controller, generates excessive amounts of impact torque if the power lift is operated with the 30a power cord plugged into a 110v AC power source (with or without a battery).
- Risk
- This could cause failure in one of the shear pins resulting in damage to the trailer's lift system. This could allow the roof to free-fall from the raised position, possibly resulting in personal injury, vehicle and/or property damage.
- Remedy
- Owners will be provided with two warning stickers that explains the proper function of the power lift accessory using a battery only. One sticker will be placed at the rear of the trailer next to the current limiter. The second sticker will be placed next to the 30a power cord outlet. In addition, fleetwood folding trailers will send a copy of the operation manual that emphasizes the battery-only operation of this trailer accessory. The recall began on february 8, 2008. Owners may contact fleetwood folding trailers at 1‑814‑443‑7367.
