STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 PICK UP W/ 61.00 MILES , THAT HAS A DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HUBS AND SEALS, SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER, STABILIZER BAR LINKS AND INNER & OUTER TIE RODS. HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TWICE AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. DOES THIS FALL UNDER A RECALL? I HAVE SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE REPLACED THE SAME PARTS THAT I DID. IS THERE A FIX, AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS? THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENS EVERY DAY, SMOOTH OR ROUGH ROADS.

ON 09/12/2013, I PURCHASED 4 GEO-TRAC PATAGONIA A/T TIRES P265/70/17 TIRES FOR MY 2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY. FROM RICK'S TIRES AND BRAKES IN CANTON, NC. THIS TIRE SHOP PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM FREE SERVICE TIRES IN SWANNANOA, NC. FREE SERVICE TIRES BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM TEIRECO, INC IN GARDENA, CA. THE DOT NUMBER ON THE FOUR TIRES IS DOT JENJ FPL 1911. THE TRUCK HAD 53,023 MILES ON IT WHEN THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED. IN JANUARY 2017, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE BOUNCE AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 30 MPH. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO RICK'S TIRES AND HE CONTACTED FREE SERVICE TIRES. THE FREE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE BELTS HAD SEPARATED AND REPLACED THE TIRE. ON 03/21/2017 WHILE TOWING A BOAT ON I-40 IN NORTH CAROLINA, THE RIGHT REAR TIR EXPLODED AT 55 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY EXIT THE ROADWAY AND DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO SAFELY PARK ON THE SHOULDER. THE TIRE HAD A LARGE HOLE AND PART OF THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE INNER TIRE. THIS SEPARATION CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY RIGHT PICKUP BED OUTER WALL AND BRACING SUPPORTS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED RICK'S TIRES AND MADE HIM AWARE OF THE ISSUE. HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED FREE SERVICE TIRES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO RICK'S TIRES ON 04/02/2017. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TIRECO ON 04/13/2017.THE REMAINING TIRES HAVE TRAVELED ABOUT 13,000 MILES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE MS SCRIVENS AND MS TORRES WITH TIRECO. I HAVE HAD TO INITIATE EVERY DISCUSSION WITH THEM. THEY SEEM TO BE UNCONCERNED THAT TWO OF THE FOUR ORIGINAL TIRES THEY MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED HAVE FAILED. MS. TORRES TOLD ME TODAY THAT A ROAD HAZARD CAUSED THE SECOND FAILURE. I HAD A RETIRED OPERATOR FROM A RUBBER VULCANIZING OPERATION LOOK AT THE TIRE. HE STATED THAT THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN "COOKED" LONG ENOUGH OR THE TEMP WAS NOT HOT ENOUGH TO ADEQUATELY BIND THE RUBBER COMPONENTS. TIRECO SHOULD IMMEDIATELY REPAIR MY TRUCK AND COMPENSATE FOR TIRES.
