The defect
THE INVOLVED TIRES CONTAIN PLY ENDINGS IN THE OUTER TWO LAYERS OF PLY FABRIC WHICH DO NOT EXTEND UNDER THE BEAD BUNDLE TO THE BEAD TOE. THIS CAUSES THE BEAD AREA OF THE TIRE TO CHAFE AGAINST THE METAL RIM AND SLOWLY LEAK AIR.
The remedy
DEALER WILL REPLACE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER, WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECALL NOTIFICATION.
