Tire Manufacturer Lawsuits
Holding Tire Manufacturers Accountable for Their Failures
If your vehicle is recalled for some reason, you’ll probably get a notice from the manufacturer. Auto makers are able to keep track of their vehicles, even if you move or the vehicle changes hands, because vehicles and their VINs are registered with the state where the owner lives. In the case of tire recalls, however, it is not so easy for the owner of the recalled tire to get a notice. For instance, if you bought your tires from a third-party seller, or if you didn’t bother to send in a registration card after your purchase, there may not be a chain linking you to the manufacturer. In the end, it may be up to you to know whether the tires on your vehicle have been subject to recall or not.
Tire makers think they can put the burden on you to know if the tires on your car have been recalled. The fact is, tire manufacturers can and should do more to prevent defective tires from getting into the stream of commerce (and onto your car) in the first place. The Florida attorneys at Halpern Santos Pinkert have taken on cases against nearly every major tire manufacturer in the U.S. and have achieved resounding success holding them accountable for their negligence, failures and misconduct which lead to serious car accidents and the catastrophic injury or wrongful death they involve.

Tire litigation is complex.
