An incorrect rubber compound may have been used in manufacturing, which may allow sections near the tread surface to become partially detached.
A detached tread can decrease vehicle stability thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
The Goodyear tires were recovered from dealer inventory before being sold to consumers.
Sumitomo will notify owners and dealers of the remaining recalled tires, and dealers will replace them free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin December 6, 2019.
Owners may contact Sumitomo customer service at (800) 845-8378.
