Recall on certain Yokohama tiresYokohama has issued a recall on 499 Avid Touring S tires (215/65R16) that were manufactured in 2009.
The lower sidewall could crack due to a manufacturing defect, possibly resulting in a slow loss of tire pressure. If left in service, the crack/separation could grow and rapid air loss could occur, jeopardizing vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. Moreover, pieces could detach from the rim and strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. Yokohama retailers will replace affected tires. Source: Transports Canada
