Reason the product is recalled

A separation of the tyre sidewall may occur. This may lead to rapid pressure loss or reduced performance in the tyre.

The hazards to consumers

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 an accident or injury to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Consumers should stop using the product immediately. American Pacific Industries Inc or its sellers will contact consumers where contact information is available to arrange replacement tyres.
