THIS MODEL BRIDGESTONE TIRE IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE RECALL, BUT CLEARLY SHOULD BE. THIS TIRE SEPARATED, LUCKILY, AT LOW SPEED. HOWEVER, THE PREVIOUS THREE DAYS, I HAD DRIVEN AT 70 MPH FOR 1 TO 2 HOURS ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS. THIS COMPANY CLEARLY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AT ALL PLANTS AND WITH ALL TIRES. THEY ARE CLEARLY PUTTING MY SAFETY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC'S SAFETY AT RISK.( DOT NUMBER: EM&KDLF178 TIRE SIZE: 55HR16 )
