While traveling South on I-95 at approx 65 mph, the passenger right rear tire failed. It appears that the failure mode was tread separation/detachment. The tread ended up wrapped around the rear axle. At the moment of the failure the 2000 Ford Expedition torqued hard to the right, but control was maintained. Further information on this incident is that the failed tire was a replacement for a recall (NHTSA campaign id number: 02T012000) by Continental tire co. And replaced by a Ford dealership. The failure of the replacement tire fits the exact description as stated in the NHTSA investigation report.

Own a 2000 Ford Expedition (original owner) and had tires replaced as part of recall of 2002. Tires were replaced at local Ford dealership with General Grabber aw P275/60/R17. Recently I noticed "steering" and "bumpy" ride, so I took vehicle to get it checked out. Mechanic showed how one tire had "bowed out" feature and explained that this was a "tread separation" and needed to be replaced. Remembering prior recall for same reason, was concerned this was a possible manufacturer defect. Researched on internet and found # to call at Continental to report. Called and spoke with "bill" who recorded my concerns and created a file #22239. Told me a could go to national tire and battery and have it checked out. Went to ntb and the technician examined the tire and said he could not prorate the warranty. I explained that I just wanted to inform the manufacturer of the possibility of a manufacturer defect in case there were other complaints for the same type of tire. He said that with the apparent age of the tire it could have been caused by a bump that had caused the weakness. My expectations for a tire is for the tread to wear out before any other breakdown.

'recall campaign' tread separation. Consumer contacted the dealer who sold him the tires. Found that there was a recall for Continental, P275/60R17 0051612. While driving the consumer noticed a vibration. The vehicle was taken to have an alignment when he was informed that the passenger side front tire tread had separated and that a second tire was having a similar problem. The consumer replaced the tires and later found out that they were recalled. The consumer request reimbursement for the faulty tires.

I had a tire separation while driving 70 mph. Please see tire recall campaign number below. Tire recall campaign id number 02T012000 I have 5 of these tire on my 2000 Expedition. According to Ford customer relationship, my VIN was not a part of a recall. The tires, however were. Dot numbers were verified with Continental. There were 596610 units affected, yet Ford only is showing approximately 500 vehicles with only 300 actualy qualifying. This seems like a game to me as thes five tire were originally on my vehicle.
