What is wrong
Discount Tire is recalling certain Pathfinder SAT LT245/75R17E1 121R W tires manufactured September 16, 2013, to May 19, 2015, Pathfinder SAT LT265/75R16E1 123Q W tires manufactured August 5, 2013, to May 19, 2015, Pathfinder SAT LT265/70R17E1 121S B tires manufactured September 2, 2013, to May 19, 2015, and Pathfinder SAT LT275/65R18E1 123S B tires manufactured October 7, 2013, to May 19, 2015. These replacement light truck tires may have been manufactured with an inner liner gauge that is lower than specified. As a result, the tire tread may separate and cause rapid air pressure loss.
What could happen
If a tire experiences tread separation or air pressure loss, it can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
