The hazard

Certain tires have developed a bulge in the lower sidewall - on the white sidewall side - during compliance testing. This indicates the existence of a separation between two lower sidewall components. If the separation is not detected, continued use may cause the tire to lose the inflating air, which could affect steering control and possibly cause a vehicle crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires.
