I purchased a gray Nissan Sentra sr brand new on [xxx] with 27 miles on the odometer. The Nissan dealership was located in California. On [xxx] I saw a bubble, approximately 2" inches in diameter on the outside facing sidewall of the right front tire. At the time I saw the bubble, the car had approximately 9,700 miles on the odometer. The vehicle was not involved in any accident or did not strike any large pot holes or other object that would cause the bubble on the tire. The tire is a manufactured by hankook and it is part of the kinergy gt series. Tire size is 215/45r18 89v. Bubble can be seen directly over the tire size on the sidewall (see pictures). This is an extremely serious condition. It can result in catastrophic tire failure causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and resulting in potential injury or death. I took the vehicle to the Nissan dealership where I bought it and they would not cover it under my 36 month new car warranty. I had to pay $339. 54 to replace the defective tire. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
