What is wrong
Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (Cooper Tire) is recalling certain Roadmaster RM852 EM tires, size 295/75R22.5, with DOT date codes 4618 through 4818. The innerliner gauge may be too thin, allowing the tire sidewall to fail.
What could happen
A sidewall failure may cause the tire to rapidly deflate, increasing the risk of a crash.
