Defect Summary

The involved tires fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 119, "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars", due to omission of the "radial" designation on the sidewall. This could lead the purchaser to believe he has a non-radial tire, which could cause him to install a bias inner tube, have the tire recapped as a bias tire, or improperly mix bias and radial tires, which could affect vehicle handling.

Corrective Action

Dealer will replace involved tires free of charge within 60 days of recall notification.
