Tire Defect Can Cause Auto Accidents in Texas

San Antonio auto accidents are occasionally caused by tire defects. San Antonio personal injury lawyers need to be aware that a tire defect can cause serious injuries and often death.

Occasionally speed, road debris, or impact is to blame for a tire failure, when in fact the tire defect itself caused the vehicle to leave the roadway or caused the vehicle to over correct.

San Antonio automobile owners need to be aware that they are at an increased risk of a serious automobile accident if they have tires manufactured by DEL-NAT with a tire line of DELTA A/S size 245/70R17. The defective tires were manufactured between November 22, 2009 and December 5, 2009. The tires may develop tread chunking or cracking in the shoulder area. Further information is available at the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) under Campaign Id: 10T008000.

If an automobile accident occurs and a tire appears damaged or deflated it is prudent to investigate the tire for recalls and warnings.
