DO FLA RESIDENTS NEED TO HAVE ACCIDENTS BEFORE THESE TIRES ARE RECALLED? ISN'T FL A HOT STATE? I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE OF THESE TIRES PEEL LIKE A BANANA CAUSING OVER $700 TO MY REAR QUARTER PANEL.

ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER I NOTICED THAT AFTER I EXHAUSTED THE FRONT TANK AND SWITCHED TO THE REAR TANK, ONCE THE REAR TANK WAS EXHAUSTED I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TANK WOULD THEN HAVE AS MUCH AS 1/3 TANK OF FUEL IN IT. I DECIDED TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT APPROACHED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS DURING APRIL 1999 AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DONE AND THE REPAIR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, ANY SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY.
