“This is the letter I e-mailed to firestone_consumers_affairs, friday, september 22, 2000. I have had three of my six firestone tires fail with tread separation. These tires are not listed on the recall list. I drive a 1996 27' gulfstream conquest 102 motor home. I am a bachelor: consequently, I travel alone and carry a relatively small load. All three failures have occurred while driving 55 MPH on asphalt roads. The temperature was about 92 to 95 degrees and the roads were smooth, without potholes. …”
NHTSA complaint #732974, filed 2000-09“Tread separated while driving making it difficult to drive, dealers refused to replace tire because it was not on recall(firestone fr 480 p235r75/15).”
