Consumer Description

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE;SUDDEN FAILURE OF SPARE TIRE RETAINING CABLE ON PERSONAL TRUCK. CABLE SNAPPED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING SPARE TIRE TO FALL FROM ITS STOWED POSITION BENEATH THE TRUCK. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO BECOME AIRBORNE BRIEFLY AS THE SPARE TIRE CAUGHT THE REAR BUMPER AND LIFTED IT. HAD THE SPARE TIRE NOT BEEN ADDITIONALLY SECURED BY AN ANTI-THEFT CABLE THE TIRE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN SENT INTO OTHER TRAFFIC BEHIND ME OR IN THE ONCOMING LANE. NEW TIRE WAS PURCHASED BY ME BUT NO OTHER CORRECTIVE ACTION;DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED. *JB
