These tires were manufactured with an incorrect belt rubber compound that may result in poor adhesion of the rubber to the belt wires, potentially resulting in a belt separation.

Consequence

If the belt separates from the tire it can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Cooper will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began on January 3, 2018. Owners may contact Cooper customer service at 1-800-854-6288. Cooper's number for this recall is 170.
