Certain tires may contain a manufacturing defect. The tire sidewall which bears the partial DOT code may contain a hole in the upper sidewall. Tires with a hole through the sidewall will leak air when inflated. Loss of tire pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect tires and replace those within the affected date code range.
