What was wrong
Defect
Federal Corporation is recalling certain Couragia A/T tires, size P265/75R16 116S, DOT Serial Numbers UX77 3210-UX770813. In the affected tires, excessive heat causes tread shoulder chunking. Thus, these tires fail to conform to the durability test requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Risk
Tire shoulder tread chunking could cause a tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Federal Corporation will notify owners and will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began on April 30, 2013. Owners may contact Federal Tires consumer hotline at 1-855-444-8250.
