The problem is with a rubber chemical mixture used in the manufacturing process that reportedly does not meet the company’s specifications. This may result in tread separation, which can lead to loss of vehicle control and a crash.
The tires in question can be identified by the “Made in Japan” stamp and the numbers “3810” or “3910” at the end of the DOT serial number, both located on the tire sidewall. Affected consumers are urged to have their recalled tires replaced immediately.
