The short answer

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

What’s wrong with it?

SHOULD THE TIRE FAIL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN USE, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.

CERTAIN COOPER TRENDSETTER SE, MASTERCRAFT A/S IV, DEAN ALPHA 365 A/S, AND STARFIRE FLITE-LINE IV TIRES SIZES P195/70R14 AND P185/65R14, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 21, 2004, AND MAY 14, 2005.

THESE TIRES CAN LOSE AIR PRESSURE CAUSING THE TIRES TO RUN UNDER-INFLATED.

AN UNDER-INFLATED CONDITION WILL CAUSE THE TIRE TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN EARLY FAILURE.

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.
