While pulling over to the side of the road, the contact noticed a tire rolling by. The driver exited the vehicle and noticed that the rear driver's side tire was missing; however, a small piece of sidewall was still on the rim. The contact stated that the spare tire was placed on the vehicle. The vehicle and tire were not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 94,065 and the approximate tire failure mileage was 5,000.
