What’s wrong with it?

SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WITH POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH.

SOME TIRES MAY DEVELOP TREAD SEPARATION IN TREAD SHOULDER AREA CAUSING TREAD TO BULGE AND A THUMPING VIBRATION WHEN TIRE IS IN USE; CONTINUED USE MAY CAUSE PLY CORD TO BREAK AND LINER TO TEAR AND LOSE INFLATING AIR PRESSURE.

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.
