The defect
THE INVOLVED TIRES MAY HAVE LESS RUBBER INSULATION BETWEEN THE INSIDE EXTREMITY OF THE BEAD BUNDLE AND WIRE PLY STOCK THAN IS DESIRABLE. THIS CONDITION RESULTS IN A FRETTING OR FRAYING ACTION OF THE WIRE PLY STOCK WHEN CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE BEAD BUNDLE. THIS COULD RESULT IN BROKEN PLY CORD WIRES MANIFESTED BY A RECTANGULAR SHAPED BULGE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SUDDEN AIR LOSS.
The remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE ALL RECALL TIRES AND MOUNT AND BALANCE REPLACEMENT TIRES FREE OF CHARGE WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM NOTIFICATION.
