Description of the problem	I was driving my 2008 pontiac g6, at approximately 40 mph, northbound on ward drive, in the goleta, california, area. With no warning of any kind (i. E. Loud pop, pull, or car movement), the tire pressure sensor indicated to check tire pressure. The tire pressure monitor indicated 15 psi in the left front tire. I pulled off the roadway, while monitoring the pressure monitor, and the tire was quickly leaking air until the tire was fully deflated. I did not run into, or over, any debris, curb or other obstacle. The left front tire split on the inside face of the tire (facing the car), right where the sidewall meets the tread and starts to curve around. The split started about 2/3 of the way from the rim, and continued radiating outward toward tread (as opposed to along the sidewall, parallel to tread) about an inch to an inch and a half long. It is a jagged split. There was not any puncture, penetration, or cut in evidence. I am being told that i need to buy a new tire, and if the manufacturer determines the tire failed, then the tire manufacturer will determine any amount of refund, if any. Based on the location of the split in the tire sidewall, and the lack of any external influencing event(s) prior to the failure, i believe this tire failed without explanation. As all four tires are of the same production lot (based on the dot #), i believe all four tires should be examined and fully tested to determine if the remaining three tires are prone to failure as well. As this event occurred at relatively slow speeds, i feel quite lucky that nothing serious happened. If this had occurred two minutes later, i would have been on the freeway, at freeway speed, and could have experienced a serious accident and injuries. These tires (hankook, optimo h725a tires) need to be checked on!

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.
