The defect

The involved tires do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 119, "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars". These tires did not withstand the prescribed 47 hours without failure, under stepped-up loads on a test wheel, in the endurance portion of standard 119. This condition may cause tread separation and partial loss of tread, particularly under high speed driving conditions.

The remedy

The dealer will replace all recall tires with new ones at no cost to the owner for a period of 60 days from receipt of the recall letter.
