Narrative

The contact owned a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck equipped with Pirelli Tires, Tire Line: Scorpion ATR, Tire Size: 285/65/R20, DOT Number: N/A. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, he heard a loud bang, and the vehicle veered to the left. No warning light was illuminated. The contact attempted to steer right, but the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle struck another vehicle in the left lane before both vehicles crashed into the median barrier wall. The contact's vehicle then spun into three right lanes and came to a complete stop on the right shoulder. The air bags were deployed. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the rear driver's side rim was fractured. The contact and three passengers were taken to the hospital via ambulance. The contact sustained third-degree burns on his arms as a result of the air bag deployment. The second passenger had cuts on the head from the seat belt. The third passenger had cuts and bruises on the face from the seat belt. The fourth passenger sustained no injuries. A police report was filed and stated that the failure was caused by the rear driver's side tire blowout. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and was deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure, but the contact obtained the event data report and summary. The failure mileage was approximately 8,504.
