NHTSA Complaint #11150033 — 2011 FORD F-150

BF GOODRICH BF15L3110317 TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. ON THE WAY TO WORK ON 11/05/18 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I SUDDENLY HEARD A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME, NO OTHER CAR WAS BESIDE ME WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER SO QUICKLY BEFORE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK OR ANYONE ELSE. I TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND ASKED IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THAT SET OF TIRES PURCHASED IN 2017. THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE STATED NOTHING LISTED, BUT STRANGELY THE TIRE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED FOR SALES. CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND GAVE THEM ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND AWAITING CAR CARE CENTER TO CONTACT THEM WITH ALL THE DETAILS. HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A TREND WHERE OTHER CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK.
