TIRES
Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Steering shaft separation may cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Unapproved tires that are not rated for the vehicle can cause tire performance issues, increasing the risk of a crash.
Detached or broken tie rod ends can result in steering loss, increasing the risk of a crash.
A fractured bolt may cause a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
A missing or improperly installed locking snap ring can result in wheel-end failure and potentially a wheel-off/separation condition, increasing the risk of crash.
Two 2021 WESTERN STAR 4900s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
