What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". THE NON-COMPLIANCE EXISTS BECAUSE THE TIRES MAY DEVELOP SEPARATIONS BETWEEN TREAD AND PLY MATERIAL IN THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD AREAS.

Manufacturer remedy

THE DEALER WILL REPLACE RECALLED TIRES AT NO COST TO THE OWNER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECALL NOTIFICATION.
