December 15, 2008
Cooper Tire is recalling Cooper CS4 Touring (VR) tires, size 215/55R17, produced between September 7 and October 11, 2008.
The tires may have been cured for an inadequate amount of time. This condition can lead to tread separation, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control and a crash.
Cooper Tire will notify owners and replace, mount, and balance any defective tires free of charge. Dealers will examine suspect tires to see if they fall in the recall population. The recall is expected to begin on or about December 18, 2008.
Owners may contact Cooper Tire Consumer Relations toll-free at 1-800-854-6288.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
