Description of the problem	Nexen tires lt235/80-17 at ra8 original equipment with truck at purchase. This truck was purchased in march 2016 new from ram dealer, this truck is a 2016 ram 3500 dually. We have had two tires seperate, other wise belts inside tires broke, we were able to notice an replace before any blow outs accrued. We properly care for our tires due to that our children ride in this truck an also we haul our livestock behind this truck. With one of us working in the tire field we are able to notice the defects before something bad happens most time like blow outs an we know how our truck rides so once it starts to feel funny we inspect! Both tires separated in bout a 1000 miles of each other. The truck only had 12400 miles on first tire separation an 11/32 of tread left with the tread starting at 15/32 an tread mileage of 40-50k. This should not have happened. We are in the process of having both tires replaced through either a local dealer of nexen, or nexen themselves as i have tried to contact nexen three times an can't not get through to them or recieve a return call. The second tire had 10/32 left on it, both have separated belts in them we still have 5 more of these tires left due to this being a dually even the spare is the same tire. All with same d. O. T numbers of 8ex61015 so all coming from same batch made 10th week of 2015 hoping we don't have anymore separations but after 2 seperations we will for sure be on our look out even more so. We were driving during both separations of the tires. Our children in the truck during both times also. Very unhappy with these tires! We will continue to work an try to find a replacement solution with nexen, with this being oe tires they should be replaced for free an not prorated but we will see! Please do not purchase these tires for your truck or a truck with them until nexen fixes the issues with their tires!

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.
