Description of the problem	I purchased a 2011 lincoln mkz on 11/5/2012, it had 13,593 miles on it. During my last oil change, on7/28/15, at 37,440mi, i was informed that i had cracks and in all of the tire walls and would need to replace all 4 tires immediately. I bought the car at the dealer that was doing the oil change. When i argued that the tire warranty guide that came with the car indicated that the tires were good for 60k, i was told that it was my fault that the sidewalls had cracks, because i had not rotated the tires on a regular basis. So i assumed that it was my fault, and replaced my tires ($700). Today, while checking a different recall, i saw the other tire complaint about michelin's and 2011 mkz's and realized it was not my fault. I don't know if the dealer knew about this-i thought they were trying to trick me so i went to an actual tire company for replacement. Unfortunately- because i didn't know at the time, i had them discard the michelin tires after they replaced them. I am sure i had michelin tires, i have the original tire warranty guide and it list 5 possibilities-all michelin. I based the size of the tire on the size of my replacement tire. I do know that the car came from the hermosillo assembly plant. I have the original sale sticker. I am sure i can find more information from where i bought it if needed.

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.
