Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:MARKINGS filed May 10, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1990614 (ODI reference 11588089) concerns a 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT and was filed on May 10, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 12, 2019. The vehicle had 93,345 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:markings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT cohort independently describe similar tires:markings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Energy Saver A/S, Tire Size: P265/65/R18, DOT Number: M3KA. The contact stated the tires contain a tire identification number (TIN) that is missing the 4-digit week and year code mark. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping." Missing TIN information can make it difficult for tire owners to determine the age of the tires and/or identify the tire in the event of a recall, increasing the risk of driving with unsafe tires which could result in a crash. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified the missing TIN information. The tires were not replaced purchased at the dealer on April 12, 2019. The tires were replacement tires. The tire failure mileage was 0. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 93,345. The VIN was not available.
