What was wrong

Defect

Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (Cooper Tire) is recalling certain Evolution H/T 245/70R16 tires. The Tire Identification Number (TIN) states the incorrect manufacture date of the tire. The correct code is 2317, and the subject tires are incorrectly marked with 1723. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires For Light Vehicles" and number 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."

Risk

An incorrect manufacture date may cause the tire to be used beyond it's recommended service life, increasing the risk of tire failure and crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Cooper Tire will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 23, 2021. Owners may contact Cooper Tire customer service at 1-800-854-6288. Cooper Tire's number for this recall is 171.
