My wife had a tire blowout on our 2002 ford expedition . Tires mounted on the vehicle were the general aw grabbers 17inch. We were informed last year a couple of months after vehicle was purchased that these tires had been recalled. We contacted dealership and took our vechicle in to another local dealership, and they said no they had not been recalled even after we insisted they at least look at the tires. My wife and infant child were in the vechicle which caused extensive damage to the car but thankfully only minor bumps and bruises to my family. We are in the process of getting legal advice and have taken numerous pictures of the tire and had our own tech examine the tire.

Tires have been seperating for some time now. Original tires have been discontinued and are on nationwide backorder. Contacted dealer reported to be ordered. Have been on order for 3 weeks now. My husband has found a different brand of tires to fit the vehicle but the dealer and ford insist on the exact same brand and make of tires. The brand is no longer available. The ride quality on the vehicle is beyond horrible, but so far no accident has occured. Would like to be reimbursed for having to purchase my own tires for a vehicle with a warranty.
