The short answer

NHTSA received Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.’s report on Jul 16, 2014. 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?

If the tire experiences cracking or broken ply cords, this will increase the risk of a tire blowout and the risk of a vehicle crash.

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (Cooper) is recalling certain Wild Country Radial XTX Sport 265/65R18 tires manufactured June 1, 2014 to June 28, 2014.

The affected tires may experience cracking and broken ply cords in the lower sidewall on the intended outboard side above the rim.

Thus, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 139, “New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles.”

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.
