Description of the problem	On march 16th 2007 i was driving from my home in fort myers florida to a business meeting in clearwater florida. I was driving on interstate 75 going north. I was approximately a quarter of a mile from the skyway bridge. Since this is a toll bridge i was decreasing in speed getting ready to make a stop, at that time, there was a loud explosion and before i could think i was beginning to lose control of the car. The explosion or implosion was the rear driver side tire completely came off the rim of the car. This sent me into a tail spin trying to control the car at which time the car came up on two wheels. I then proceeded into the ditch and was able to stop the car. I then called roadside assistance which the tow truck driver stated he never saw anything like this. We were able to get a spare tire on the car so that i could drive to a tire shop to have the tire replaced. This was a nightmare to say the least. I first called the dealership since i happened to purchase the car from a dealership in which my business meeting was being held. The car dealership mastro motors stated that they do not keep tires in stock. I explained this care almost killed me and the response was that i purchased tire insurance to call them. I then called subrau only to be told that they do not warranty the tires and that i would have to call bridgestone. I then called bridgestone and they were not able to help me find an athorized service center. I then found a firestone tire outlet in which after driving around all weekend on a spare tire were finally able to get the correct tire for my car and replace it. I now have the tire that exploded on in my possesion as proof that this tire is clearly a defect as i have not owned my car more that six months. I purchased this car new and it has about 5400 miles total on the car. At this time i do not feel safe with the tires on this car. *ak

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.
