Tire manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that their products are reasonably safe. Unfortunately, many manufacturers place profits ahead of customer safety. Major recalls of Firestone and Ford Explorer tires brought the extreme danger of defective tires to light. Now, Firestone is just one manufacturer that faces scrutiny over tire defects. Manufacturers can be held liable for marketing products that put people at serious risk of injury.
Types of Failure
Defective tires can result in several different types of failure. The most common include:
- Tire bead failure
- Zipper failure
- Multi-piece wheel explosions
- Tire tread separation
- Belt adhesion
Result of Defective Tires
When a defective tire fails during the operation of the vehicle, serious injuries can result. If the vehicle is operating at highway speeds at the time of the failure, a rollover is the most likely result, especially if the vehicle is an SUV. Rollover accidents have the highest rate of occupant fatality due to the spinal cord and head injuries that can result from roof crush.
