The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while switching to his winter tires, there was some sort of chemical reaction that caused the valve stem to break. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where four valves were replaced; however, the valve stem on the spare tire was not. Therefore, when the contact was switching the spare tire with a flat one, he experienced a blowout with the spare while driving 30 mph. The contact called the manufacturer and the dealer in reference to the failure and was informed that they were aware of the problem. The current and failure mileages were 4,853.
