When the consumer went to change a flat tire the jack that came with the vehicle collapsed while he had the vehicle raised up. This was the original jack that came with the vehicle. It collapsed when he had the tire off and was trying to put the spare on. It collapsed under the weight of the vehicle. There were no injuries.
