1992 Ford Explorer Tires Problems

“I was traveling down highway and the spare tire cable broke and the wheel fell out and got jammed under the Explorer. Luckily I some how was able to get pulled over before their was an accident. After that had happen I found out that they had a recall on the cables due to them breaking.”

“The spare tire cable of my 1992 Ford Explorer that holds up the spare tire rusted out dropping the spare tire to the ground. Fortunately this occurred while the vehicle was stopped. If the tire fell when moving down the highway at 65mph, the consequences may have been very different. There is no excuse for Ford to use a cable material that can corrode and drop the tire.”
