The hazard

Certain tires may have been manufactured with a non-conforming bead ring, which could cause reduced contact between the tire bead and rim sealing surface. This could allow air to leak between the tire and rim. If undetected, tire pressure air loss could impact vehicle handling or result in tire failure, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires.
