Dill tr-413 valve stem failures while driving on interstate resulted in the irreparable damage to two (2) tires. Tire dealer unaware of recall on valve stems, and not willing to even consider replacing tires, even using a pro-rated system. I feel that the failure of these valve stems and the damaged tires should be dill's responsibility to correct. Although i do not have the evidence to prove the first tires' failure (i was not aware of the recall at the time, so i did not think to save parts or take pictures), i have all the evidence needed to indicate that the valve stem's failure caused the front left tire to lose air at highway speed.
I bought set of yokohama tires in december 06 from tire kingdom. Soon after installation i had a "flat tire" on trip from florida to new jersey (my home). I found a tire kingdom store in the carolinas, luckily. They replaced the tire valve. In 2 year+ since then i have had at least 4-5-6 flat tires, always the valve, rather than a puncture. I don't know why it took me so long to put 2 and 2 together, but when most recent failure occurred (last week, again valve failure) i did some research and discovered the re-call of dill valves. I called dill to see what kind of compensation i can get. Not much ($ 4.00/per incident !!! ) i don't know what i'm hoping to get. I am upset and disappointed about this, but i guess i'm lucky i didn't have serious accident during these many tire failures. Does nhtsa have any comment or recommendations?
