What is being recalled
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2018 Lexus LS vehicles equipped with run-flat tires with a sidewall reinforcement layer inside the tire. The tire-on-wheel assembly process may have caused the reinforcement layer to crack, possibly resulting in the tire tread layer separating from the tire.
Why it is dangerous
If the tire tread layer separates from the vehicle, vehicle handling and stability may be affected, increasing the risk of crash.
