Issue
On certain tires, a defect in the lower sidewall area may cause a crack to form over time. Continued operation in this state could result in a inflation pressure leak, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of tire failure. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Retailers will replace affected tires.
