YEARS AGO, RESPONDING TO A RECALL ABOUT SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY, THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WAS "FINE." ON 6 /23/2019, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, NORTH TOWARD LAKE GEORGE, NY, JUST SOUTH OF EXIT 18, THERE WAS A LOUD THUMP UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND AS I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, SAW THE TIRE FLY OUT AND SLIDE ONTO THE GRASSY MEDIAN OF THE HIGHWAY. DRIVER ALSO SAW IT IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. WE WERE UNABLE TO STOP OR RETRIEVE THE TIRE. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM TRIP, I CALLED DEALER SERVICE REP. AND ASKED: WASN'T THIS DEFECTIVE SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY PART OF AN OLD SAFETY RECALL? SERVICE REP. SAID THEY WOULD FIX SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY. I DEMANDED THEY ALSO INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE. AFTER CALLING TOYOTA, THEY AGREED. VEHICLE IS BEING WORKED ON.
