The manufacture did not include a spare tire in the vehicle. Instead they included a can of sealant in place of the spare. The owner's manual stated that the sealant may not work if the puncture was located outside the tread, the puncture was wider than about 3/16 of an inch, if the wheel rim was damaged, or if the tire sealant has expired. Also, owner's manual on page 230 indicated that if the consumer used the sealant it may make the tire warranty invalid the consumer was concerned because he felt that this was an inadequate way of repairing the tire. The consumer has not had the problem as of yet. The consumer contacted the manufacturer to try to get them to purchase a spare tire, and they would not. This was on 8-12-05, case number N032005081200173. The vehicle was a hybrid electric that ran on gasoline or electricity.
