Tire Blow Out Information
Many accidents are the direct result of tire failure. Tire failure can include blow-outs, tires separating from their rims, and issues involving tread wear. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 8,000 traffic accidents a year result in death or serious bodily injury from tire failures. Often, tire failure occurs from the vehicle owner not properly maintaining the tires—over- or under-inflating them or not having them adequately rotated. However, in recent years, we’ve all become aware of tire manufacturers selling faulty tires that feature poor materials, defects or design flaws.
Most people are familiar with the Ford/Firestone tire-debacle, one of the largest tire recalls in history. By 2000, Ford Motor Company had installed more than 14.4 million Bridgestone/Firestone ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires on the Ford Explorer and other vehicles. Reports of crashes and fatalities prompted an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTS), which uncovered a defect in the Firestone tires. At the time, more than 300 crashes and collisions were attributed to Firestone tires. The defect in the tires caused tread separation that, in turn, caused many rollover accidents involving Ford Explorers. Ford announced a recall of all 14.4 million tires.
The litigation following the recalls received widespread publicity for many reasons. Beyond the huge scope of the recall, the media found many issues newsworthy, including the money involved, the many ensuing class action suits, and the end of a decades-old relationship between Ford and Firestone due to each party blaming the other for the tire failures.
