“Spare tire is suspended under vehicle with a steel cable. This cable broke while vehicle was in motion and tire fell off of vehicle. Fortunately the vehicle was traveling at only 10 MPH. This could have been very serious! No less than 2 people have been killed in the city of syracuse by simillar accidents over the past 15 years! This cable failed because it rusted through. It is also imposible to inspect the condition of this cable without removing the spare tire. The cable should be replaced with a stainless steel cable. …”
