The short answer

NHTSA received COOPER TIRE & RUBBER CO.’s report on Jan 1, 1982. 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?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

THE INVOLVED TIRES WERE INADVERTENTLY MANUFACTURED WITH THE WRONG PLY FABRIC AND MIGHT CAUSE SEPARATION IN THE TREAD IN THE SHOULDER AREA.

UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, THE TREAD OF THE TIRE WILL BULGE.

THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE A VIBRATION WHEN THE TIRE IS IN USE.

IF THE VIBRATION IS IGNORED OR THE SEPARATION IS NOT DETECTED, CONTINUED USE MAY CAUSE THE TIRE TO FAIL LOSING THE INFLATING AIR.

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.
