What is wrong
Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Falken WildPeak AT4W size 275/60R20 115T tires. The tires may have been produced using the incorrect cord material for one of the plies.

As such, the affected tires do not meet the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles.
What can happen
Tires produced with the incorrect cord material can increase the risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.
