Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On august 25, going to work from a late lunch, i experienced a blowout on the right front tire. when the tire blew in threwmy truck into a large curb ruining the bumber,right front corner panel, parts of the door as well as suspension bendage, and ruining both wheels. between me and my insurance company it cost almost 3000.00 to fix., besides me having to make a claim which wll probably raise my insurance rates. 2 weeks later the news came out that 16" general tires were being recalled because of this problem on the lincoln navigators. i am interested if there have been any other of these tires recalled, because of not only the money im out of pocket, but the depreciation it caused my truck(not to mention i could have been injured severely because of this blowout. please advise me, meantime i will contact my insurance company and my lawyer. thanks. jmk. *ak( dot number: tire size: 255/70/r16 )
