Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan maxima se. While the car was at the dealer for routine service, the technician told me that the inside sidewalls of all 4 tires were showing cracks, and the front passenger tire had cracks and a bulge coming out. This was when the car had only about 26,000 miles. He said the cost to replace the tires is $245 each tire, plus installation costs. He strongly recommended that i replace at least the two front tires as soon as possible. I then took the maxima to a different nissan dealer for their opinion as well. That dealership agreed that all 4 tires had cracks on the inside sidewalls, and the bulge was there on the right front tire. They recommended that i replace all 4 tires. I told them it seems absurd that tires that are so new would need replacement, and they said it was a common problem with these tires and i should go to goodyear to see if they would cover all or part of the replacement cost. I called nissan headquarters (1-800-nissan-1) and was told the same thing, it is not nissan's responsibility, but goodyears'. Going to goodyear this afternoon to have them checked -- and if safety risk exists i will of course have to buy new tires. I have a wife and a 21-month old baby, and cannot risk a blowout or some other catastrophe that may cause injury to my family. No tires should fail like this so quickly. General rule is if some object or thing goes into a tire, that is just a risk that the owner must bear. But if the tires show problems coming from the inside out, that indicates a tire defect. I will update this after meeting with goodyear. *nm

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
