Princeton Tire Recall Attorneys
Tire Recall
Tires are such a basic functioning part of any vehicle that we all expect them to perform flawlessly every time we drive. A tire that suddenly blows out or otherwise malfunctions while you are driving can cause you to lose control of your vehicle and lead to a fatal car collision in New Jersey.
While tire manufacturers do their best to put out only the highest quality product, they occasionally sell a batch of tires to the public with design or manufacturing defects. These defects can include a predisposition to tread separation and moisture problems that rust internal components of the tire. The problem can arise in the design or manufacturing process. If it fails to perform on the road, drivers and passengers risk serious injury and even death. No brand is immune to recalls, and the cost of a tire does not have anything to do with whether or not it is defective.
When it becomes evident that there is a problem with a type of tires on the market, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to issue a recall and alert consumers. This does not mean that you will find out about a tire recall in time. In fact, most of the time, it becomes apparent that a recall is necessary only after many products have failed on the road. A serious injury or a fatality may prompt investigation and a subsequent recall, but the initial victims still must suffer. Even after a recall, it is very difficult to get the word out to all consumers. You could be driving on recalled tires and not even know it.
If a recalled tire left you with a catastrophic injury in New Jersey or took the life of your loved one, you may be entitled to make a claim against the tire company. At any stage in the design, manufacture or recall process, the producer may have made bad decisions, chosen to ignore important information or failed to communicate effectively to the public.
