AVON COBRA AV72
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Max-Trac Tire Co., Inc., doing business as Avon Motorcycle Tyres, is recalling certain Avon Cobra AV72 motorcycle tires in size 240/50R16 84V that were produced between October 11 and November 7, 2009. These tires fail to comply with federal safety standards because separation of the breaker/ply can occur, resulting in early failure. If this happens, the tread may separate from the tire casing, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Avon Motorcycle Tyres will notify owners and replace the affected tires free of charge, including mounting and balancing. The recall began on May 17, 2010. Owners of recalled tires should contact Avon Motorcycle Tyres North America at 1-800-624-7470, option 5.
