Bf goodrich bf15l3110317 tire blew out while driving to work. On the way to work on 11/05/18 while driving on the highway I suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the passenger rear tire and immediately pulled over to the guard rail on the highway. Lucky for me, no other car was beside me when I had to pull over so quickly before causing damage to my truck or anyone else. I took the tire back to where I purchased it and asked if there have been any recalls on that set of tires purchased in 2017. The sales representative stated nothing listed, but strangely the tire has been discontinued for sales. Called the manufacturer and gave them all the information about the incident and awaiting car care center to contact them with all the details. Hopefully this is not a trend where other consumers are at risk.

After auto starting my truck on the morning of december 14 2016. Upon departing my house, I heard a loud popping noise. However I was not able to verify where it came from until I arrived at my destination. I noticed a pattern on my sliding rear window on the drivers side. Upon further investigation I discovered the window was shattered all though it was still in one piece. While researching methods of repair I discovered that this has happened over 70 times.in previous complaints it has been said that this could possibly be attributed to faulty construction or an electrical system failure that could cause a fire. I feel this is a driving hazard for both driver and occupants due to the possibility of minute glass fragments getting in eyes and causing injury and possibly a fatal accident. Therefore I feel that an immediate recall is necessary. People have lodged complaints since 2010 until present. Injury would occur if the window was to blow out causing injury or accident to other vehicles or persons following mine or others vehicles (motorcyclist).

Rear glass window on 2011 f150 with power slider- driver side back quarter glass shattered, while driving. Rear defroster was on. I have researched this issue and have seen many complaints reported online. I am glad my children weren't in the back seat at the time this happened and it stayed in the frame and did not blow out/into the rear vehicle passenger area

My new ford f-150 has original equipped hankook dynapro at tires. They are p235 75 r17 with the dot t79jpcyh (4010). I have a life time maintenance program on the truck and the tires have been checked and rotated at approximately every 4400 miles. With 18,500 miles on the truck and tires, I was driving about 25mph on a city street when the left rear tire blew. It had a clean tear from rim to tread. The truck has low tire pressure monitoring and I had no warning of low pressure so I know the tire was not heating up from low pressure. I did not hit anything on the street ( it is a six lane divided, well traveled street) and suddenly with a loud bang the tire went down. No help from the ford dealer on this problem. The tire dealer I went to was surprised to see passenger tires on a truck.
