A manufacturer of tire valve stems has begun a nationwide recall. These stems are cracking and separating, causing rapid deflation. One fatality has already been connected to this issue. This affects 6 million valve stems dating back to mid-2006.

Thanks Chris for the info. I wonder if that might have coused my flip on the highway last year.

A friend of mine bought a new f150 and 3 of the valve stems on the truck have gone bad. He took it to the dealer ship and they would not replace them. He had new ones put on all four tires.

Yep, had 2 on triple axle trailer go bad in a week.

It's a NHTSA campaign now. Thge mfg. is paying for it.

But who wouldn't gladly go out of pocket on something like thi?. I mean, that would be much better than finding out the hard way.

More China Crap ???????

This happened to me the weekend before the 4th of july. Tire max fixed it for free.

Yep.

yep again. This is what happens when we the voters let them the politicans(run by big bidness) ship our jobs overseas.

Sorry for the hijack Chris.
