AN INSUFFICIENT CURE CONDITION IN THE BEAD WIRE RUBBER INSULATION WAS CAUSED BY A SMALL AMOUNT OF CONTAMINATED RUBBER.
TIRES FAIL TO MEET REQUIREMENTS OF ENDURANCE TEST FMVSS # 109. FAILURE WAS DUE TO HIGHER THAN SPECIFIED SECOND PLY ANGLE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE INCORRECT SECOND PLY ANGLE CAUSED CHAFING OF PLIES IN THE BEAD BASE AREA. A CHAFED PLY CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS AND VEHICLE CRASH MAY OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
THE INVOLVED TIRES CONTAIN VOIDS BETWEEN THE TOP PLY AND THE TREAD IN THE SHOULDER AREA. THIS CAN LEAD TO TREAD SEPARATION WHILE IN OPERATION.
