Consumer Description

DEALER REPLACED ALL RECALLED TIRES INCLUDING SPARE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND FELT THE VEHICLE "JUMP UP" AND MOVE TO THE RIGHT. I LOOKED BACK AND THE SPARE TIRE HAD FALLEN OUT FROM UNDER IT. THE TIRE WAS BRAND NEW BUT HAD RUB MARKS ALL THE WAY AROUND LIKE IT HAD BEEN SPINNING. THE CABLE HOLDING IT WAS SLICED STRAIGHT ACROSS. I'M ASSUMING THE TIRE WASN'T TIGHT AND IT HAD SPUN UNTIL IT SNAPPED THE CABLE. THIS WAS NOT REPORTED. MY HUSBAND LOWERED THE CABLE AND PUT ANOTHER CLAMP TO HOLD IT ON. THE SPARE NEEDS TO BE SECURELY TIGHTENED. I TRADED THIS VEHICLE IN FOR A 2002 F150. DT
