What was wrong

Defect

TIRES MAY NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES". THESE TIRES HAVE INSUFFICIENT SIDEWALL GAUGE AT THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD JUNCTION. IF SUBJECTED TO SUSTAINED HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MAXIMUM LOADS, CRACKING COULD DEVELOP IN THE UPPER SIDEWALL. CRACKS IN THIS AREA WILL CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE CORD, RESULTING IN TIRE FAILURE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR.

Manufacturer remedy

ALL TIRES WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECALL NOTIFICATION.
