New tires failed on black ice. Not have traction for condition of road. Tires designed for summer only. Like snow tires for winter only. Vehicle went into oncoming lane, hit on side, spun. - and car trunk demolished - car still ran. But busted exhaust and catalytic converter. Flat tire, rear door jammed on one side. No other cars driving same section had a problem. No major physical injuries to either vehicle. . . Hopefully. Just mental ones. Figure vehicle mfg should have sent out notice. And tire company not sell such tires to seniors. And tire store should not sell them unless for race track.
Driving on the highway when there was a sudden loud bang, my car swerved, my rpms revved up, white smoke and I smelled burning.

There's a recall for that exact problem for my year and model but my VIN isn't covered. How can I get my VIN on the recall list?.
