The spare tire winch cable broke causing a serious accident behind the vehicle. I believe this is a common occurece with many makes and models of vehicles. Though this problem may not be reported often, I think it is a very common incident that needs to be investigated.
The cable to the spare tire had snapped, and the spare tire was missing. Dealer replaced the cable.
