Tires:sidewall
Affected:

Defect:
Tire description: cooper trendsetter a/w, trendsetter se, dean galaxie gt, trailcat all season, falls roadmaster iv, starfire flite-line a/s, dean alpha iv season, laramie tempra year round, durasteel, sentry deluxe classis lx, premier all season, radial xl, merit four season 75, and cordovan centron tires size p205/75r14 manufactured between february 27 and march 4, 2000. due to inconsistencies with the standard sidewall compound formulation, sidewall cracking can occur. where excessive flexing of the tire sidewall occurs, the cracking could extend to the body ply cords. this condition could lead to the degradation of the body ply cords and consequent loss of inflation pressure.
Consequence:
The loss of inflation pressure could cause the tire to run under-inflated and result in early tire failure. the loss of air could result in loss of steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Cooper will notify its dealers/customers to have the tires replaced free of charge. owner notification began july 20, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact cooper tire consumer relations department at 800-854-6288.
