“I recently saw that toyota voluntarily recalled some of their vehicles due to failures of the cable that holds their spare tires in place. I had this exact same failure occur to me on a 1997 Pontiac Montana van. The actual failure occurred on 1/21/08. I was parked in a parking lot when the spare tire suddenly separated from the vehicle and fell onto the ground. The metal cable on the spare tire winch had failed due to corrosion and allowed the tire to fall. …”
