Issue ID	246447
Internal NHTSA #	730240

Brand	LINCOLN
Model	NAVIGATOR
Model Year	1998
File date	03/09/00
Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Tread separation on right front tire, vehicle traveling approx. 70 mph, posted speed 70 mph, almost lost control of car with vehicle instability. Tire purchased 10/18/1999, only 13,000 miles on tire. Very lucky no injuries, but why did tread separate? Not a blow out, as tire was inflated with air hissing out when we were able to stop. On interstate 95, and able to pull over safely, but again, very lucky not to be passing another vehicle or on a bridge when tire failure occurred. Should there be a recall for these tires too? Just because no injuries and minor equipment damage from flailing tread wound around axle doesn't mean it's a safe tire.( dot number: tire size: p245/75r16 )

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
