If You Have a Blowout

One of the most dangerous consequences of a tire defect is the potential of a blowout – an explosion of the tire while driving. If you ever experience this frightening occurrence, the following steps can help you stay safe:

• Do not panic! The sound of a blowout is scary, but the blowout itself will usually not cause a crash. Your reaction, however, can.
• Do not slam on the breaks. Instead, slightly accelerate to keep your momentum going and hold the wheel firm and straight. If you do this, you will regain control of your vehicle.
• Once this is achieved, slow down and pull out of traffic to replace the tire with a spare or call for vehicle assistance.
