You are receiving this message because you have requested to be notified if there is a safety recall regarding Tires from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation.

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 10T004
Synopsis:
Hercules has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain Hercules Terra Trac SUV tires, size 245/70R17, produced between November 15 and December 12, 2009. These tires fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." At various mileages, the subject tires may develop and exhibit tread chunking or cracking in the tread shoulder area. Tread chunks may separate from the tire casing resulting in body damage to the vehicle or the driver may lose control resulting in a crash. Hercules will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2010. Owners may contact Cooper Tire Customer Relations toll-free at 1-800-854-6288 or Hercules at 1-419-425-6400.

This is bad!!! I have the Terra Trac AT which I have been very happy with. looks like they are not part of the recall just the Terra Trac SUV that is a highway based tread pattern.
