Why it was recalled

Tyres included in the recall, if affected by the potential safety issue, may experience in-service belt and tread separations.

Hazard

Should a separation occur, the driver may experience a vibration and/or a flat tyre. In some circumstances, the driver may lose control of the vehicle without warning, which could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
