The achilles tires were produced with a narrow bead design which can cause blistering on the lower sidewall. The radar tires have defective sidewall design which may lead to tread separation. Accordingly, the tires fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 139, "new pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles."
What could happen
These tires may experience blistering on their sidewall or tread separation that may cause sudden loss of air, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
