Defect Summary: Certain yokohama tires, size p215/60r15 avid h4s 93h, manufactured between december 2, 2007, and september 19, 2009, fail to conform to the tire identification requirement of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 139, "new pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles." the molded markings on one sidewall do not contain the complete tire identification number (tin) or partial (tin) as required.

Consequence Summary: The lack of a tin on both sides of the tire could make it more difficult for consumers to identify these tires if, in the future, a safety-related performance issue were to be discovered. As a consequence, there is a risk that the tires would not be removed from service, which, in turn, could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
