JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH FIRESTONE RADIAL ATX TIRES HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 1989. I HAD ONE COMPLETELY SELF DESTRUCT FOR NO APPARANT REASON AND THE FIRESTONE DEALER I TRIED TO WORK WITH LAUGHED AT ME AND THOUGHT THE WHOLE INCIDENT WAS FUNNY. I WENT STRAIGHT TO A B.F.GOODRICH DEALER AND HAD THE FIRESTONES REMOVED AND TRASHED. I'LL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE AND I TELL EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN ABOUT THE DANGER OF OWNING FIRESTONE TIRES. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235X75X15 )
SEVERE CORROSION DUE TO ROAD SALT AT THE JOINT OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER SECTION AND THE CAST OUTER SECTION CAN CAUSE THE SECTIONS TO SEPARATE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SEPARATION OF THE ROTOR SECTIONS CAN CAUSE LOSS OFBRAKING ABILITY IN THE AFFECTED WHEEL. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPINGDISTANCE AND/OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WITH NEW ROTORS WITH A CORROSION PROTECTION COATING. HOWEVER, IF REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE LININGS ARE NECESSARY, IT WILL BE DONE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE SINCE BRAKE LININGS ARE NORMAL MAINTENANCE ITEMS.
