Run Flat Tires Lead to Class Action Lawsuit

Case ID: 4619

Category: Automotive

Last Update: 06/12/2006

Country:

Two Michigan men are suing a maker of tires for recreational vehicles they say are defective and pose a safety risk. Jeffrey Hunsaker, of Byron Center, and Dennis Drooger, of Holland, filed the suit against Aiken, S.C.-based Carlisle Tire & Wheel Co. last January in Kalamazoo. Their lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Richard Enslen for class-action status to allow them to open the lawsuit to Carlisle tire owners as far back as 1999.

The defective tires "impose economic losses on consumers, cause other property damage to their vehicles, and create a major inconvenience to recreational travelers," the plaintiffs' lawyer, argued in a court filing. "Worse yet, the Carlisle tires at issue also present a significant safety risk."
