Early a.M. went to car noticed tire completely flat due to 'cracked/defective' valve stem. Had purchased 4 new tires 2/8/07 from sam's club. They replaced valve stem but did not mention anything about a recall and did not check other valve stems for defects. I was not aware of recall until hearing it on the news this week. Now concerned about other tires and if the 'new replacement valve is safe.
The contact owns a 2002 Toyota Corolla. The vehicle has four Michelin tires, size P185/65S14 (na). In may of 2008, while driving 55 mph in a parking lot, the contact discovered a flat tire on her vehicle. The tire store stated that the valve stem was the cause of the failure and made the replacement. The failure recurred and the valve stem, along with two other tire stems were defective and had to be replaced as well. The failure mileage was 64,500. Updated 07/29/08. Updated 07/29/08
