Defect
During the tire-and-wheel assembly process for run-flat tires, improper assembly procedures caused cracks to form in the reinforcement layer on the inner sidewall surface. Continued use produces abnormal noise and vibration. In the worst case, part of the tread may detach, compromising vehicle driving stability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the run-flat tires with new units.
