SOME VEHICLES BUILT NOVEMBER 1974, MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH ONE OR MORE FR74 X 14 STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES THAT WERE UNDERCURED, DUE TO AN EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION IN PRODUCTION. WHERE THIS EXISTS, IT CAN CAUSE LOCALIZED OVERHEATING DURING USE, RESULTING IN SEPARATION OR CRACKING, OR BOTH, IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL AREA OF THE TIRE. CONTINUED USE COULD RESULT IN RAPID AIR LOSS WHICH, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.
