The defect
DURING AUTOMATIC MOUNTING OF THE TIRES ON STYLED STEEL WHEELS OF CERTAIN CHRYSLER VEHICLES, TIRES MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED IN THE BEAD AREA. THE DAMAGE MAY ALLOW AIR TO FLOW INTO THE SIDE WALL AREA, LEADING TO A SEPARATION OF THE REINFORCING PLIES FROM THE RUBBER COMPOUND.
The remedy
TIRES WILL BE REPLACED WITHIN 6O DAYS OF OWNER"S NOTIFICATION WITHOUT CHARGE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE TIRES OTHER THAN GOODYEAR BRAND. THESE TIRES WILL ALSO BE REPLACED WITH GOODYEAR TIRES AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. THOSE WHO PREFER THE CURRENT BRAND SHOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.
