The contact stated the spare tire was mounted under the vehicle with a cable, and the tire fell off. He went to a mechanic for an oil change and noticed the spare tire was missing, and the cable was frayed, the contact was unsure of when this occurred. The dealership was contacted, and they have not gotten back in touch with the contact.
While driving 45 mph, a loud banging noise was heard from rear. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pull over. The winch cable wire sheared off and caused the spare tire to fall off and bounced underneath the vehicle. The driver was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that this vehicle was no longer under warranty. Please fill in additional information.
1993 Ford Explorer--spare tire cable rusted out about 2 years ago and we have no idea if this tire fell out on an interstate or local traffic, we now also have a 2000 Ford Explorer. Will the same thing happen again? my son-in-law was transporting prisoners with a 1998 Explorer and the same thing happened to him in traffic.
