Takata recall: i have two conflicting reports from nhtsa. one states a recall date of 2/03/2016 (16v061000) on the airbags and the second report states there has not been any recalls. which is correct?? also: equipment label recall #07v358000 recall date 8/13/2007
On february 12, 2013 i was driving my 2008 acura rdx on a side road when my tire pressure indicator light came on. i felt a slight bumping from my wheels. when i looked up in my rear view mirror saw a section of my tire lying in the road behind me. fortunately i was at a low speed. when i picked up and checked the section of tire that had detached i realized that the tire had split in a circumference along the side walls on both sides and that the segment that had detached had the tread section intact along with a few inches of the sidewalls. the remaining portion of the tire remained on the rim. the tire was a michelin mxm4 pilot 235/55vri and had only been on my car for 26,000 miles. i am very concerned that this is a significant safety issue. the dot# for this tire is b93jphfx4110. none of these tires have performed to near the 50,000 miles that they are rated at. on january 4, 2011 at 26,644 miles i had to replace the 2 rear tires as they had worn to the tread wear indicators. on january 6, 2012 at 38,979 i had to replace the front tires as they had worn to the tread wear indicators. the tire that fractured along the side wall is now the 5th. tire that i have needed to purchase in this series for this car. *tr
