What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

CRACKING CAN PROMOTE DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE CARCASS AND LEAD TO TIRE 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.
