THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO SOLUS TIRES, SIZE: 225/60/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE SPARE TIRE WITH A NEW TIRE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE FAILURE THE INNER FENDER LINER, UNDER BUMPER PLATE, SHOCK BOOT, AND THE MUD GUARD WOULD ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT KUMHO TIRE R REAR EXPLODED ON THE HIGHWAY, DESTROYING THE WHEEL WELL, BUMPER, AND SIDE PANELS, AND ALMOST CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER HAVING TO GET THE STATE PATROL TO STOP TRAFFIC ON ALL THREE LANES WE DROVE CAR ON THE RIM TO THE OPPOSITE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS A MEDIAN STRIP. WHEN WE WENT TO REPLACE THIS TIRE, WITH GOOD TREAD AFTER SOME 56,000 MILES WE LEARNED THAT ANOTHER TIRE, THE L FRONT, ALSO HAD DELAMINATED AND SEPARATED, AND THAT THERE WERE TWO LARGE BALD SPOTS WHERE THE TIRE WAS FAILING ALSO. HAD THIS FRONT TIRE EXPLODED THIS WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE CAUSED A ROLLOVER AND PROBABLY KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED MY DAUGHTER, THE DRIVER. I STILL HAVE THESE TIRES, WITH A FAILURE RATE OF AT LEAST 50%. KUMHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL THESE DANGEROUS TIRES, NOR HAS HYUNDAI.
