WE PURCHASED A SET OF BRIDGESTONE DUELER APT III TIRES FROM SEARS ON JULY 14, 2007 FOR OUR 2001 JEEP WRANGLER. AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION THE JEEP HAD 69,903 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS JEEP HAS THE 2.5L 4-CYLINDER ENGINE AND 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ON JUNE 23, 2009 MY SON DROVE THE JEEP TO HIS AUTOMOTIVE CLASS AT CAPE FEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO CHANGE THE OIL. WHILE ON THE LIFT, THE TEACHER NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS MISSING A SECTION OF TREAD. THEY REMOVED THE TIRE AND INSTALLED THE SPARE. THE JEEP HAS 80,104 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS MEANS THAT THE TIRE FAILED WITH ONLY 10,201 MILES AND APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD. IF MY SON HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. THE TIRE SIZE IS 265 70 R16 111S AND THE CODE IS DOT V672 JLP 4506. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMAINING TIRES ON THE VEHICLE AND IF THESE SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 4.0L ENGINE ONLY, THE DESIGN OF THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS COULD ALLOW DEBRIS TO ACCUMULATE AT THE #3 CYLINDER LOCATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A MANIFOLD SHIELD TO MODIFY THE AIR FLOW CHARACTERISTICS AND TO PREVENT THE ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS IN THE AREA OF THE #3 CYLINDER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 13, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, WATER AND IMPURITIES CAN ENTER INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH WITH A REDESIGNED SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 8, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." SOME OF THE OWNER'S MANUALS FOR THESE VEHICLES ARE MISSING INSTRUCTIONS THAT PROVIDE A STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE, INCLUDING DIAGRAMS, FOR PROPERLY ATTACHING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM'S TETHER STRAP TO THE TETHER ANCHORAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CHILD SEAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY ATTACHED INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE CHILD.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADDENDUM TO THE OWNER'S MANUALS.
