Texas Auto Defects Potentially Cause Accidents

San Antonio drivers need to be vigilant when inspecting their cars for defects that can cause serious accidents. Any easy inspection is to visually inspect tires for cracking, separation and anything else out of the ordinary. If anything is suspected take the car to a car dealer or tire seller for an inspection. Do not drive the car if it appears to be a serious problem.

Another tire manufacturer (NOKIAN) has made a recall of tires sized 245/70R17 manufactured from November 12, 2009 to December 12, 2009. The safety recall began on March 8, 2010. Additional information about this recall can be found at the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) using campaign id: 10T010000.

The defective tires have a tendency to separate causing tread chunks to fly off of the tires. This tread chunk separation can cause serious automobile accidents causing death or permanent injury.
