Recall on tire valve stems

"Warning issued on faulty tire valve stems following rollover death
The death of a Florida man in a rollover accident coupled with the recall of faulty tire valve stems made in China has prompted at least one safety expert to caution consumers to check vehicle wheels to make sure they don't contain the rubber replacement tire valve stems. The valves may crack prematurely and lead to serious crashes, says Sean Kane, president of Safety Research and Strategies in Rehoboth, Mass."
More info on link.
The bad thing is that you have to pull the tire off rim to see if your stem is part of the recall.
