Cooper / Mastercraft recall: Tires
What is wrong

(Cooper Tire) is recalling certain Cooper CS5 Grand Touring 225/55R17 and Mastercraft LSR Grand Touring 225/55R17 tires with DOT codes 2920 through 3220, 4220 through 4420 and 5120 through 0121. The tires may have low tread gauge in the shoulder slot area which could cause tread separation and sidewall failure.
What could happen
A sidewall failure may cause the tire to rapidly deflate, increasing the risk of a crash.

Cooper Tire will notify registered owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the tires, free of charge. Cooper Tire plans to begin notification no later than April 22, 2021. Owners may contact Cooper Tire customer service at 1-800-854-6288. Cooper Tire's number for this recall is 177-2.
