Defective Tires
In the largest tire recall since the Bridgestone Firestone announcement
in October 2001, Continental Tire North America is recalling more than half
a million tires that have been installed on Ford SUVs due to tread separation.
At least one accident resulting in the death of six people in an SUV rollover
is being investigated to determine if it was directly caused from a Continental
tire tread separation. Based on documents filed with the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Continental learned of the accident
involving their tires in May, but Continental said in the NHTSA reports
that they have not completed a thorough investigation to determine if their
tires were at fault for the deaths.
Continental began investigating their tires July 12, 2002, which eventually led to the August 19, 2002 recall announcement. The Continental tire recall will cost the company an estimated $19 million. Since the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act was enacted in 1966, there have been 24 million tires recalled due to safety defects.
