What is wrong
CERTAIN COOPER WEATHER-MASTER S/T2 TIRES, SIZE 215/65R16, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 24 AND MAY 28, 2005. THESE TIRES WERE PRODUCED WITH AN IMPROPER STUD PIN HOLE DUE TO THE MOLD STUD PIN INSERT WORKING LOOSE. THE IMPROPER DEPTH OF THE STUD PIN HOLE IS SUCH THAT A PROPERLY INSERTED METAL STUD PIN, OVER TIME, COULD PENETRATE INTO THE CARCASS AND CAUSE A GRADUAL REDUCTION IN INFLATION.
What can happen
THE LOSS OF AIR COULD CAUSE THE TIRE TO RUN UNDER-INFLATED AND RESULT IN EARLY FAILURE. LOSS OF AIR MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING AND A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
COOPER TIRE WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE THE TIRES IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN JULY 15, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COOPER TIRE CONSUMER RELATIONS AT (800) 854-6288.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
