I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO THIS COMPLAINT, BUT IN VIEW OF THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL (ON WILDERNESS P23575R15 TIRES - DOT VD), I THOUGHT I'D PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME INPUT ON THIS TIRE PROBLEM EPISODE. I SUSPECT THAT YOU LOOK FOR TRENDS...IF FOLKS DON'T LET YOU KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING, THEN THE STATISTICS ARE NEVER DEVELOPED FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED. APPROX. 1/4 OF THE FACE OF 1 OF MY TRUCK'S TIRES PEELED AWAY...THE TIRE APPEARS TO HAVE GOOD TREAD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE P/U. THE TRUCK CAME WITH THE TIRES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES WERE ON THE TIRES UPON PURCHASING IT, BUT THEY APPEARED TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AS I ASSUMED OWNERSHIP. THE TIRE THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR EXPERTS TO REVIEW IF YOU SO DESIRE. THANKS FOR THE TIME THAT YOU MIGHT DEVOTE TO THIS REPORT. GERY M. DUPARC, LCDR, USPHS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2FC1M9404 TIRESIZE: P22570R14)

THE STUDS WHICH ATTACH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER ASSEMBLY CAN DEVELOP STRESS CORROSION CRACKING AFTER BEING OPERATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LOCATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A CRACK OCCURS, IT COULD RESULT IN ONE OR BOTH STUDS FRACTURING. THE MASTER CYLINDER COULD THEN SEPARATE FROM THE VACUUM BOOSTER, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, PREVENTING THE SERVICE BRAKES FROM FULLY ACTIVATING INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER ASSEMBLY.
DURING EXTREME COLD, NORTHERN CLIMATE WINTER CONDITIONS, ICE CAN FORM IN THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE ENGINE CAUSING THE THROTTLE PLATE TO REMAIN IN THE HIGHWAY CRUISING POSITION AFTER THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED OR THE SPEED CONTROL IS DEACTIVATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCES CAN BE INCREASED POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR INTAKE DUCT AND VALVE ASSEMBLY WITH REVISED UNITS.
THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL SELF-ADJUST PAWL DOES NOT LINE UP PROPERLY WITH THE SELF-ADJUST RACHET CAUSING THE PAWL TO SLIP OVER ONE OR MORE TEETH IN THE RACHET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE ABOVE OCCURS, IT CAN RESULT IN PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM INEFFECTIVENESS. THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY, IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT LEFT IN GEAR.
Remedy: A WEDGE WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL SERVE TO LOCK THE PARKING BRAKE SELF-ADJUST MECHANISM PAWL INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RACHET. ALSO, OWNERS WILL BE ADVISED TO RELEASE AND REAPPLY THE PARKING BRAKE WHENEVER TOOTH SKIP OCCURS AND WILL BE REMINDED TO ALWAYS TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
THE FRONT FUEL LINES HAVE A SECTION OF FLEXIBLE HOSE THAT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRACKING WHICH CAN ALLOW FUEL LEAKAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LEAKING FUEL CAN RESULT IN A FIRE WHEN EXPOSED TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE FRONT FUEL LINE ASSEMBLY.
