The short answer

NHTSA received COOPER TIRE & RUBBER CO.’s report on Jun 6, 2001. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

LOSS OF AIR COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO RUN UNDER-INFLATED AND RESULT IN EARLY FAILURE. LOSS OF AIR MIGHT RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

TIRE DESCRIPTION: COOPER SIGNET WINTER TRAX TIRE SIZE 215/70R16 MANUFACTURED BETWEEN OCTOBER 15 AND OCTOBER 21, 2000.

THESE TIRES HAVE AN IMPROPER STUD PIN HOLE DUE TO THE MOLD STUD PIN WORKING LOOSE.

THE IMPROPER DEPTH OF THE STUD PIN HOLE CAN ALLOW A PROPERLY INSERTED METAL STUD PIN TO PENETRATE INTO THE CARCASS OF THE TIRE AND CAUSE A GRADUAL REDUCTION IN INFLATION.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which tires, by their DOT codes: the range is in the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site, not in this file. Check the code on your tire’s sidewall against it.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
