Recall 79T015000: Tires

NHTSA recall 79T015000 · announced May 25, 1979 · General · 168 units affected

The problem

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". THE NON-COMPLIANCE EXISTS BECAUSE THE TIRES MAY DEVELOP SEPARATIONS BETWEEN TREAD AND PLY MATERIAL IN THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD AREAS.

What to do

THE DEALER WILL REPLACE RECALLED TIRES AT NO COST TO THE OWNER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF RECALL NOTIFICATION.
