What are the defects?

Due to a manufacturing defect, the tyre sidewall may break or degrade. This may lead to rapid pressure loss or reduced performance in the tyre.

What are the hazards?

If there is a rapid pressure loss or the tyre degrades, this may lead to tyre failure, resulting in loss of vehicle control. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
