Reason the product is recalled
The affected tyres were manufactured with an incorrect rubber compound on the belt wire which may result in poor adhesion of the rubber to the belt wires.
The hazards to consumers
The affected tyres may develop an in-service audible noise, unsatisfactory ride condition, belt separation, or distortion in the tread area that if undetected may ultimately result in a tyre failure, leading to the loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a possible crash.
What consumers should do
Consumers will be contacted by Exclusive Tyre Distributors by phone and/or letter. Consumers who believe they have affected tyres, but aren't contacted by Exclusive Tyre Distributors, should contact Exclusive Tyres to arrange for identification and replacement of any affected tyres, free of charge.
Replacement tyre selection will be by the consumer. If a tyre other than the recalled tyre is chosen, Cooper will cover the cost of the replacement up to the purchase price of the recalled tyre. If the consumer selects a more expensive tyre, the consumer will need to pay the difference in price.
