IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15T015
Discount Tire/America’s Tire has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Pathfinder replacement tires. These tires are included in a safety recall. These tires are typically found on vehicles such as light trucks and SUVs.
These recalled tires may contain a condition that could result in a tread separation. The initiation of a tread separation is often evidenced by a ride vibration or irregular wear. In some circumstances, a loss of tread could result in rapid air loss, loss of vehicle control or a vehicle crash.
The following list provides the product descriptions, DOT (Department of Transportation) sequence Identifiers and DOT production periods of the manufacturing populations which contain the recalled tires. The DOT information is molded to the sidewall of each tire: the DOT sequence number and DOT date code that is a 2-digit week and 2-digit year of production, which are given in the DOT production period information. For example, “4305” refers to the 43rd week of the year 2005.
