NHTSA complaint #566641, filed 2002-07, 35,000 miles“In april of 2000, I purchased a new Lincoln LS, and I have had 2 firestone tires blow apart at the seams. In incident #1, the tire totally separated into 2 pieces, and in incident #2, the tire blew out on the inside wall, creating a whole about 8 in diameter. As a state highway official here in massachusetts, I believe that the firestone firehawk lh should be recalled. (tiresize: p235/50r17)( DOT number: tire size: p235/50r17 )”
