WE DON'T HAVE THE RECALL TIRES OR A PROBLEM ON OUR VEHICLE. BUT, RATHER SUSPECT TREAD SEPARATION BEING CAUSED BY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND DISK BREAKS ON ALL 4 WHEELS. THIS CAN CAUSE MORE BREAKING/SHEAR STRESS ON THE TREAD OVER TIME. RUNNING AT HIGH-SPEED DOESN'T SIMULATE BREAKING, PARTICULARLY IN HEAVY STOP-GO COMMUTING WHICH MANY VEHICLES ARE NOW BEING USED FOR. THEN WHEN THEY ARE TAKEN ON LONG HIGH-SPEED DRIVES, THE WEAKENED TREAD IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE. TESTING SHOULD INCLUDE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SURGING TESTS AND RADIAL BREAK-LOAD SIMULATION.( DOT NUMBER: )

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE WEAR OF ROTORS AND PADS WHICH ARE CAUSING ERRATIC NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. VEHICLE BEEN IN/OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 59 SOUTH IN TEXAS, HEADING TOWARDS HOUSTON WHEN I WAS EXISTING OFF A RAMP INTO A 360 DEGREE CURVE WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED AND BLEW OUT.
