THE SPARE TIRE STRUCTURE DISINTEGRATED DUE TO RUST. THE SPARE TIRE WAS HANGING AND WAS EASILY PULLED OUT BY HAND. THE STRUCTURE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE IN PLACE IS BLOCKED BY THE SPARE TIRE AND DOES NOT GET WASHED, CREATING AN AREA WHERE THE DIRT AND SALT ACCUMULATE. THIS EASILY COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
