Pirelli is recalling specific P Zero All Season tires installed on Maserati vehicles due to a defect that may cause sidewall cracks and air loss.

What this means for you

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 vehicle defect (tire sidewall cracking) that poses a risk of vehicle control loss and crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

Pirelli Tire LLC is recalling certain P Zero All Season tires, size 275/40R19 101W, manufactured between January 11, 2016, and October 29, 2016. These tires were installed as original equipment exclusively on certain Maserati cars.

The recall is due to an incorrect carcass component that may cause the tires to develop cracks in the lower sidewall. This defect can result in a loss of air, potentially leading to tire failure or a loss of vehicle control, which increases the risk of a crash.

Pirelli will notify Maserati owners and the dealers that purchased the tires as replacements. The company will work with Maserati to replace the affected tires free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2016. Owners may contact Pirelli customer service at 1-706-368-5800 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
