TBC Corporation (TBC) is recalling certain Wild Country Radial XTX Sport tires, size 265/65R18, manufactured by Cooper Tire and Rubber Company from June 1, 2014, to June 28, 2014 (weeks 2214-2514). The affected tires may experience cracking or broken ply cords in the lower sidewall on the white sidewall side. As such, these tires fail to comply with the regulations of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires For Light Vehicles." A tire with sidewall cracking and broken ply cords may have a sudden loss of air pressure, increasing the risk of tire failure and a crash.
