TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WITH A BOAT IN TOW, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FISH TAIL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE RAILING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CABLE FROM THE SPARE TIRE HOIST HAD FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE BOAT AND VEHICLE WERE DAMAGED, AS WELL AS THE SPARE TIRE, RIM AND REAR AXLE OF THE TRAILER. THE TRAILER SPRINGS WELDING WAS ALSO DAMAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO ADVISED THAT THE SPARE TIRE HOIST WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THE SPARE TIRE HOIST WIRE WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,000.

DILL TR-413 VALVE STEM FAILURES WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE RESULTED IN THE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO TWO (2) TIRES. TIRE DEALER UNAWARE OF RECALL ON VALVE STEMS, AND NOT WILLING TO EVEN CONSIDER REPLACING TIRES, EVEN USING A PRO-RATED SYSTEM. I FEEL THAT THE FAILURE OF THESE VALVE STEMS AND THE DAMAGED TIRES SHOULD BE DILL'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE FIRST TIRES' FAILURE (I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL AT THE TIME, SO I DID NOT THINK TO SAVE PARTS OR TAKE PICTURES), I HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE NEEDED TO INDICATE THAT THE VALVE STEM'S FAILURE CAUSED THE FRONT LEFT TIRE TO LOSE AIR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *TR
