Description of the problem	In 2006, my wife leased a new vw beetle from a dealership in santa cruz county, california. The car came with a set of new goodyear eagle rs-a tires. My wife commutes 40 miles round trip five to six days a week to work. The car has approximately 60k in miles on it. The tires have not been mistreated- surface streets and freeway use only. On 4-25-09, my wife drove to work, parked in a public use garage, and spent eight hours working. When she returned to the car, the driver side front tire was flat. A tow service was called and they put on the spare tire. It was at that time the tow service driver showed my wife the inside sidewall of the replaced tire. In brief, about 90 percent of the sidewall had separated from the main tread to the point the metal bands were exposed. When my wife got home, i crawled under her car and saw the passenger side front tire was also in the same defective condition. I took pictures of both tires and downloaded them onto my computer. The cost to replace all four tires will be over $500. 00 based on a sear's estimate. I checked the internet for recalls and safety bulletins on goodyear tires. I found there was no formal recall of this tire, but goodyear was doing a "silent recall" replacing tires for customer satisfaction. I found many similar complaints about these tires, the eagle rs-a, separating at the sidewall on the internet. Todd mayer

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.
