The involved tires fail to meet the high speed requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 109, "new pneumatic tires". These tires may develop tread or belt separations due to inadequate adhesion properties of the steel reinforcing belts, in combination with tire temperatures generated at sustained highway speeds.
The remedy
Dealer will replace involved tires without charge within 60 days of recall notification.
