On some tires, a manufacturing defect could cause the lower sidewall to crack, possibly resulting in a slow loss of tire pressure. If left in service, the crack/separation could grow and rapid air loss could occur. Tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Also, during tire failure, pieces could become separated from the rim and could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Retailers will replace affected tires.
