What happened

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company is recalling certain Discoverer H/T tires in size LT245/75R16 that were manufactured between February 12, 2012, and March 10, 2012. These tires may have been produced with incorrect labeling on the inner sidewall, specifically showing inaccurate load range, maximum inflation pressure, and maximum load information. This inaccurate labeling could result in tires being overloaded or under-inflated, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

Cooper will notify owners, and dealers will replace the noncompliant tires free of charge, including free mounting and balancing where applicable. The recall began on April 11, 2012. Affected owners should contact Cooper Tire & Rubber Company's Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-854-6288 to arrange replacement of their tires.
