The spare tire hoist cable broke, and the spare tire dropped onto the highway. It bounced at least 10 feet in the air, narrowly missing cars driving the opposite direction. Luckily it rolled to the shoulder without hitting anything. I had never used the spare, nor lowered the hoist mechanism. This tire weighs ~75 pounds and could have easily killed a passing motorist.

: the contact stated the frame fractured about 2" in front of the towing package on both the driver and passenger sides. The dealership alerted the manufacturer. The dealership took digital pictures of the cracked frame. The contact is only towing 3,875 pounds which is under the maximum towing specifications of 8,000 pounds. General Motors has agreed to give the contact a loaner vehicle; awaiting their decision to remedy the problem without charge.
