Complete tread peeled off. Sent to Firestone and they said that they were not responsible because the tire was operated with "insufficient air pressure"!!! V672wl10200 should also be recalled!!! (note: The D.O.T. field cut off last number"?")

I have had 2 catastrophic failures on the subject Firestone tires @ 60 and 70 mph respectively. Firestone would not replace the first tire in may, 2001. After the second failure, 8/30/02 I found a recall call notice on firestones website for the wilderness le tires manufactured in Mexico(which mine were) however it only covers dot#V672wl21700. I have appealed to the local Firestone dealer without any satisfaction. My concern is that the problem extends beyond the recall notice and someone will be seriously injured before Firestone is forced to make a broader recall.
