| Description |
CERTAIN YOKOHAMA REPLACEMENT TIRES, SIZE 205/50R16 A680 87V, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 1, 2007 AND NOVEMBER 28, 2009, FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 139, "NEW PNEUMATIC RADIAL TIRES FOR LIGHT VEHICLES." THE MOLDED MARKINGS ON ONE SIDEWALL DO NOT CONTAIN THE COMPLETE TIRE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN) OR PARTIAL (TIN) AS REQUIRED. |
| Consequences |
THE LACK OF A TIN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY THESE TIRES IF, IN THE FUTURE, A SAFETY-RELATED PERFORMANCE ISSUE WERE TO BE DISCOVERED. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE, WHICH, IN TURN, COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. |
