After she was in the parking lot, the spare tire cable wire broke, causing spare tire to fall out from underneath the truck.
- Pahrump, NV, USA
The cable holding the spare tire snapped and the tire fell. This happened while I was driving slowly in a pasture but I make many trips thru Chicago on the interstate. I wonder if this is a flawed design or if there is something I can do to insure this won't happen again in traffic. I don't know how to find out if this is a frequent occurrence.
