Premature wear and cupping of tires resulting in unstable dangerous tire performance and loud distracting noise apparently due to a manufacturing defect in upper control arm design.

Tsb 08-001 - rear negative camber is caused by the rear upper control arm for both rear wheels. As a result, the geometry of the wheel's position will cause excessive wear on the rear tires resulting in bald and cupped tires. This wear can cause early failure of the rear tires and loss of control of the car for the driver.

My 2006 honda civic ex is causing excessive, uneven wear to the tires because the rear control arm causes negative camber on the rear tires. As a result, I replace the tires once per year. In addition to the added cost, the car becomes unsafe after a period of driving because of the wear on the tire - creating cups and bald spots on the tire which could lead to failure of the rear tires and a loss of control for the driver.

I purchased 2006 honda civic ex from person from tx. And I live in la.it had brand new tires on it and 73,000 miles and was in great condition. At 75,000 miles I started hearing noise in rear end like roaring noise.each time I had it service at local honda dealer the service advisor said tires or alignment.they knew about the class action law suit and tsb 08-001 but never informed me about it. It took me 4 years and 2 worn out $130 michelin tires each to find the problem online and from my brother. The honda dealer should have informed me about honda bad design rear upper control arms earlier and I could have saved myself 2 new tires and lots of headache. But I had it fixed at local shop in bossier city alignment shop for $560. No more noise and car rides like new and tires sit straight as an arrow not cocked out like they did.
