What was wrong
Defect
THE INVOLVED TIRES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". FLEXING MAY DEVELOP IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL UNDER MAXIMUM TIRE LOADS AND COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION AND BREAKUP OF TIRE COMPONENTS. AS A RESULT, THE TIRE MAY FAIL, LOSING INFLATING AIR.
Manufacturer remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE ALL RECALL TIRES AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM NOTIFICATION.
