On Saturday, February 27, 2021, my husband (driver) and myself (passenger) were traveling on a saint louis highway and the rear passenger tire suddenly blew with no warning. There were no tire pressure or other warnings displayed on the dash of the truck. After pulling over, we discovered the entire side of the tire had completely blown (large holes over the entirety of the wall of the tire). It was not until a minute or two after the tire blew that the truck displayed a low tire pressure warning. After researching the tire maker's website, I discovered a recall for the exact tire however, the date as listed on the dot number was one week off. Our tires should have also been included in the recall as the description of the tire maker's defect was exactly as it occurred when our tire blew out.
