| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While 2 hours into a trip through the california desert, in 110 f. heat, the inside right, rear dual tire delaminated and blew out. this caused damage to the propane system, mud flap and bracket, rear bumper and sheet metal undercarriage of the motorhome. although these tires were not on the recall list, i feel this tire dissintegrated under similar circumstances as the recalled ones and should be included in the mandatory recall. if this tire would have been on the front of the vehicle when it let go, controlling the motorhome would have been very difficult and two more fatalities could have resulted. i am very uncomfortable with these tires on my motorhome and am planning to replace the remaining 6 ( including spare) with a different brand. my family's lives are too valuable. i hope you can either convince or force firestone to recall these tires, as well.*ak (dot number: vd1l 1xd tiresize: 225/75 r16) |
