What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural tire defect that may result in loss of vehicle control and a crash, which fits the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Del-Nat Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a noncompliance in 629 Delta A/S Sierradial tires, size 245/70R17. These tires were produced between November 22 and December 5, 2009, and fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
The subject tires may develop and exhibit tread chunking or cracking in the tread shoulder area at various mileages. Tread chunks may separate from the tire casing, resulting in body damage to the vehicle or causing the driver to lose control, which could result in a crash.
Del-Nat will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge. The safety recall began on March 10, 2010. Owners may contact Cooper Tire Customer Relations toll-free at 1-800-854-6288 or Del-Nat Consumer Relations Department at 1-901-775-5002. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit safercar.gov.
