I believe that this tire failure is due to a manufacturing defect. I have a photograph of the tire that clearly shows "tire separation. " when I attempted to file a claim with Ford, they told me that firestone was responsible. When I contacted firestone, they would not accept a claim because the tire was not subject to factory recall. Firestone then told me that I should have taken the tire to a firestone dealer for inspection. When I explained that I was on vacation and had to have emergency repairs, they told me that I should have "saved the tire" for inspection. I told firestone that is was not reasonable or possible for me to do that because my car was filled with luggage and I was not going to drive around for 5 days with a dirty tire on my passengers lap. Firestone refused to offer me any alternatives and refused to accept a claim nothwithstanding the special circumstances involved. The fact that these tires have not been recalled does not mean that the failure was not a manufacturing defect. Furthermore, it is entirely possible that this tire may be subject of recall in the future because of complaints like this sent to ntsb. (tiresize: p215/60r16).
