What was wrong

Defect

THE INVOLVED TIRES WERE INADVERTENTLY MANUFACTURED WITH THE WRONG PLY FABRIC, RESULTING IN SEPARATION IN THE TREAD IN THE SHOULDER AREA. UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE, THE TREAD OF THE TIRE WILL BULGE. THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE A VIBRATION WHEN THE TIRE IS IN USE. IF THE VIBRATION IS IGNORED OR THE SEPARATION IS NOT DETECTED, CONTINUED USE MAY CAUSE THE TIRE TO FAIL, LOSING THE INFLATING AIR.

Manufacturer remedy

THE DEALER WILL REPLACE ALL RECALL TIRES AND MOUNT AND BALANCE REPLACEMENT TIRES AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER.
