Certain tires were built without enough rubber in the shoulder slot area of the tire tread. As a result, cracks could start forming in the slot or base area of the tread. This could cause a tire vibration and/or abnormal noise. If you continue to drive with this problem, the tread could separate from the tire and cause it to fail.
Safety Risk
A tire failure could increase the risk of a crash.
