Consumer Description

THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER BROKE OFF AND THE SPARE TIRE WAS RELEASED FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE TRUCK ONTO THE ROADWAY. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT A FASTER SPEED. AN INSPECTION OF THE FAILED ASSEMBLY SHOWS THAT IT IS HELD UP BY A SINGLE THIN STEEL CABLE, WHICH WAS BROKEN, ALLOWING THE ASSEMBLY TO RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL. DT
