ON MARCH 23, 2012, WHILE TOWING MY RV ON I16, THE TREAD ON THE LEFT REAR TIRE OF MY 2009 F350 PEELED OFF. MY FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES WERE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC LT275/65R18. ACCORDING TO CONTINENTAL THESE TIRES WERE NOT A PART OF RECALL #11T002000 AND YET, GIVEN THE EXACT SAME FAILURE, I WONDER IF MY TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE TRUCK HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE, THE TREAD STILL HAD A DEPTH OF 11 AND THE BED LOAD WAS ONLY 2700 LBS(USING CAT WEIGHT MEASUREMENTS.) OF THE TRUCK'S 4000 LB CAPACITY. THE TIRE PRESSURE, BEFORE LEAVING 2 HOURS EARLIER, WAS AT THE RECOMMENDED 80 LBS. AFTER TALKING TO MY FORD DEALER IN AUSTIN, TX I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS NOTIFICATION 11B24 CONCERNING THESE TIRES. HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS I WOULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION. TO THIS END I HAD ALL 5 TIRES REPLACED BEFORE I AGAIN TOWED THE RV. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, I COULD NOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF TEMPTING FATE ANOTHER TIME. AS THE TRUCK LEFT QUARTER PANEL WAS DAMAGED I DID START A CLAIM FOR REPAIR WITH CONTINENTAL. BASED ON ANY RESPONSE FROM YOU I WILL ALSO REQUEST PRO-RATED COMPENSATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRES. I SAVED THE FAILED TIRE AND CONTINENTAL HAS REQUESTED THAT I SEND IT TO THEM. I WILL DO THIS WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. *TR
