Description of the problem	on april 23, 2015, we drove from our home in miami to north georgia. The first tire failed on the way to north georgia, near gainesville, fl. The second tire failed on the return trip near lennox, ga. As you can plainly see from the attached images, both tires appear to have failed in the exact same way. I still have the second tire in my possession if you feel an inspection is called for. At the time of the first 2 failures, the car had approximately 26,500 miles on september 5, 2015, a third tire failed in the exact same manner as the previous two. At this point i replaced the remaining 2 tires even though the fourth one had not yet failed. I still have these tires in my possession as well. At the time of this failure the car had approximately 28,000 miles. The vehicle was manufactured in december 2011 and sold as new to us in march 2012. Fortunately neither my wife nor i were injured during either of the failures and we make no claim for any injury. Also, the cost of towing our vehicle was covered by our car insurance, and we make no claim for that either. What we believe would be appropriate would be a reimbursement for the two replacement tires we were forced to purchase during our trip. The first replacement tire purchased in gainesville, fl cost $78. 92. The second tire, purchased in adel, ga cost $101. 58 for a total of $180. 50. Additionally, because of theses failures, the reliability of the two remaining tires is questionable. We would like to have both remaining tires replaced at your company's expense.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
