NHTSA Complaint #753632 — 1995 GMC SIERRA

I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR CONCERNING RECALL OF THESE TIRES. THEY NEVER SEEM TO FALL IN ANY OF THE RECALLS EVEN UNDER THE RECENT RECALL BY FIRESTONE FOR TIRES AFTER 1998. IN CHECKING WITH SEVERAL TIRES STORES IN OUR AREA I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY ARE NOT UNDER THE RECALL IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ON A FORD PRODUCT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE LUDICIOUS SINCE THESE TIRES ARE KNOWN TO FAIL AND ARE ON A VEH OF SIMILAR WEIGHT AND CHARACTERISTICS TO THE FORD PRODUCTS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY FIRESTONE IS NOT REPLACING THESE TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VDW8 AW2 TIRESIZE: 235/75R16)
