Cooper Tire and Rubber Co. is recalling certain Roadmaster RM852 EM drive tires for issues that involve the sidewall, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall documents.
More specifically, Cooper Tire is recalling more than 4,000 Roadmaster RM852 EM tires, size 295/75R22.5, with DOT date codes 4618 through 4818.
