Truck accidents account for more than 20 billion U.S. dollars of damage every year, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Trucks, particularly semi tractor-trailers are complex machines with many systems that must all work together properly at the same time to avoid breakdowns, accidents and tire blowouts or tire tread separations made.
Defective tires can cause catastrophic truck and car accidents as they happen suddenly, and the drivers are often not maintained in a position to take control of aVehicle whose tires were blown. If the tire blowout is a rear wheel, the vehicle becomes very difficult, especially driving at speeds in most of the highways. Loss of control often results in the rear of the vehicle to be swinging at right angles to the direction of travel. The resulting tire is detected by the high center-of-gravity vehicles in vans, light trucks and SUV's tightened.
In recent years there have been severalbig tire recalls. Despite the numerous recalls continue to defective tires to devastating accidents and fatal crash brings. Many groups, the safety of consumers pushing for an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the effectiveness of consumer replacement programs dating from 2000 and 2001 of several major tire manufacturers. Manufacturers like Goodyear, Dunlop, Bridgestone / Firestone will have spent Cooper and Uniroyal, is reminiscentreport, or on certain models of tires that to crack a tendency to split and replace. The cracks and crevices causing safety belts on the tire separated from the housing.
Manufacturers are legally responsible for notifying consumers of tire failure in the hope of preventing accidents, serious injuries and deaths. But do know many of the major manufacturers continue to market and sell them, defective tires.
Tread failures begin as small cracks on the side of theTires, where the serial number found, the running surface failures are the result of design and manufacturing defects. Small cracks that are virtually invisible to the naked eye, sometimes the way for large cracks that develop between the belts of the tire and tire tread, and premature fatigue failure.
Exceed the lifetime of a tire should take his life in well-made tires. The tread life is, how long it usually takes to wear down tire treads. However, design and manufacturing defectsCause of much shorter life span and can lead to devastating injuries and death.
