Certain tires do not meet the minimum performance requirements of Canadian regulations. As a result, the tire sidewall may separate and cause sudden loss of air pressure and a tire failure.
Note: This recall affects tires with date codes from 0718 to 0219.

Safety Risk:
A tire failure could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
American Pacific Industries will send a letter to all registered owners to advise them of this problem. If you have these tires, you should inspect the date code on each tire. You should contact a Gladiator Tire dealer if you have tires with these date codes or if you need help inspecting them. All affected tires will be replaced.
