Your tire sidewalls are ballooning (bulging outward), which the dealer identified as a serious safety hazard. When inspected, three of your four tires showed the same problem, though less noticeably, despite the car having only 24,000 miles with just 12,000 miles on these particular tires. The dealer indicated this is a dangerous condition that requires immediate attention. The fix will likely involve replacing all affected tires.

NHTSA #: 11469447

While making a slow left turn at 5 MPH into your subdivision, your tire's sidewall suddenly blew out and couldn't be repaired. The Toyota dealer couldn't determine why the failure occurred, and the tire (a Toyo NanoEnergy A41 in size P195/65R15) has no manufacturer's warranty despite being original equipment. You're concerned this could have caused a serious accident if it had happened at highway speeds.

NHTSA #: 11428132
