Recall date: 10 March 2019
Vehicles are equipped with run-flat tyres with a sidewall reinforcement layer inside the tyre. Due to an improper assembly process, a crack may develop on the tyre sidewall reinforcement layer, expanding over time and potentially affecting the tyre deflection causing the temperature of the tyre to increase.
Under certain driving conditions, such as highway driving with low tyre pressure, portions of the tyre tread layer could separate, causing a reduction of vehicle stability and increasing the risk of an accident.
