Customer Satisfaction Campaign # 2006-28: Goodyear Eagle RSA EMT Tires

Date: 10/25/2006

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is announcing a Customer Satisfaction Campaign for Eagle RSA EMT tires fitted as Original Equipment on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 models.

Tires:
Front Axle: 255/45R20 101W S2 Eagle RSA EMT VSB RPTL p/n 474-565-372
Rear Axle:  285/40R20 104W S2 Eagle RSA EMT VSB RPTL p/n 474-566-372

Potential number of vehicles affected: 3,257

Model year(s): 2006 Grand Cherokee SRT8

VIN range (last 8 digits): 6C100463 through 6C369570 (valid VIN number required)

DOT serial date: Tires manufactured on or before the 24th week of 2006 (ending June 17) are included in this campaign. The 4-digit "week/year" DOT serial date can be found a few inches to the right of the "DOT" impression on the back side of the tire. Tires with dates of 2506 or later (2606, 2706, 2806 etc.) do not have the defect. See photo of the date code below.

Owner notification start date: All involved vehicle owners known to DaimlerChrysler are being notified of the service requirement by mail direct from Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

Defect: Tread belt distortion. Tires need to be inspected by an authorized Goodyear EMT dealer (NOT your Jeep dealer) to determine if replacement is necessary. Not all tires have the defect. Tires need to be dismounted and inspected from the inside.

If any of the tires display evidence of distorted tread belts the tires will be replaced and balanced at no cost to the customer. If only one of the tires on an axle needs to be replaced due to the defect but the tires are significantly worn, both tires on the axle (front or rear) will be replaced as a set.

If an inspected tire does not display any tread belt distortion the tires will be remounted and balanced and placed back on the vehicle at no charge to the customer. The re-mounted tire/wheel assembly may be checked for road force on a Hunter 9700 or similar machine if available. Optimizing the assembly for the lowest road force should minimize any possible vibration complaints from the customer.

The replacement program is valid until April 30, 2007. Customers can contact the Goodyear Consumer Relations Department at 800 321-2136 to locate the nearest certified Goodyear Run-Flat tire retail outlet.



Images showing the tread distortion



Tire date code on backside of tire. In this example "2506" = 25th week of 2006.


Tire mounting caution:

When the tires on mounted on the rim, make sure the dealer knows to align the high runout point mark on the new tire with the low runout point mark on the SRT rim (this information is provided in the Goodyear Product Bulletin for this campaign). The high runout point on the tire will be marked in the upper sidewall with a white dot and either the letter 'A' or a '+' or '-' sign. The low point mark on the rim is marked with an 'X' engraved into the dropwell of the rim.


Low runout point markings


Safety concerns:

We have been told by Goodyear representatives that the tread defect does not constitute a safety hazard. Tires with the defect may cause a vibration or wobble similar to that of an out-of-balance tire/wheel.
