Recall 200107T

The issue

Certain tires manufactured between February 27 and March 4, 2000. Due to inconsistencies with the standard sidewall compound formulation, sidewall cracking can occur. Where excessive flexing of the tire sidewall occurs, the cracking could extend to the body ply cords. This condition could lead to the degradation of the body ply cords and consequent loss of inflation pressure. The loss of inflation pressure could cause the tire to run under-inflated and result in early tire failure. The loss of air could result in loss of steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Cooper will notify its dealers/customers to have the tires replaced free of charge.

Description (français)

Vise certains pneus fabriqués entre le 27 février et le 4 mars 2000 .En raison d'irrégularités dans la formulation du composé, les flancs standard de ces pneus sont portés à se fissurer. Si le flanc est soumis à des flexions excessives, les fissures peuvent se propager aux nappes de la carcasse, ce qui peut entraîner la dégradation des nappes et éventuellement causer une perte de pression de gonflage. Et comme il y a risque de défaillance du pneu si la pression de gonflage est trop basse, le conducteur peut perde la maîtrise du véhicule et avoir un accident. Correction : Cooper devra aviser ses concessionnaires et clients de faire remplacer sans frais les pneus en cause.
