Is the tire manufacturer liable for a tire failure?

The answer to this question is complex and ultimately depends on the circumstances of the tire failure. In New Mexico, the tire manufacturer may be liable for a tire failure if the failure was caused by a defect in the tire itself, or if the manufacturer failed to provide sufficient warnings about the potential hazards of using the tire. If the failure was caused by ordinary wear and tear, or if the tire was damaged due to misuse, however, the manufacturer may not be liable. It is also possible that the tire manufacturer may be liable if the tire was recalled for safety reasons prior to the failure. If the tire was recalled and the manufacturer failed to notify the consumer of the recall, they may be held liable for any resulting damages. Ultimately, the tire manufacturer’s liability depends on the specific facts of the case and a qualified attorney should be consulted to determine whether the manufacturer may be held responsible.
