What’s wrong with it?
OVER TIME, SUCH A CRACK COULD PROGRESS TO THE POINT THAT IT LEAKS AIR RESULTING IN A LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE CAN RESULT IN A FLAT TIRE AND/OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

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.
