Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Nexen cp671 tires, p215/55r17 - tires are oem on my kia optima, which i purchased new. At 14,972 miles, my car's handling changed. The dealership advised both front tires have developed sidewall bulges, as well as excessive tread wear. (tires had been rotated.) i was advised to purchase new tires immediately as present ones were extremely unsafe. I read that this is a common complaint for these tires, so i called nexen directly to see if they would offer a replacement, but was shocked to hear they take no responsibility on oem tires, nor do they even offer a discount on the purchase of new tires. Needless to say, i won't be replacing them with new nexens which, by the way, their agent told me they do warrant at no additional change.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
