The tires fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"At various mileages, the subject tires may develop and exhibit tread chunking or cracking in the tread shoulder area. Tread chunks may separate from the tire casing, resulting in body damage to the vehicle, or the driver may lose control, resulting in a crash."
Cooper said it is notifying owners of the tires and will replace them for free. Owners may contact the company's customer relations department at (800) 854-6288.
"Under certain circumstances, this wrinkle may eventually lead to a crack in the sidewall. If a crack develops and is left undetected, the tire may fail, potentially causing a crash."
Toyo will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge, which includes mounting and balancing.
Owners may contact the Toyo consumer hotline at (800) 442-8696 or the Nitto consumer hotline at (888) 529-8200.
