A 2019 Mazda CX-9 recall has been ordered because the tire tread may separate while driving, leaving drivers unable to control the SUVs.
Mazda told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration a rubber compound used during prototype production on more than 150 SUVs was accidentally mixed into the rubber compound used for standard production.
This caused weakened tire tread durability and increased the risk of tread separation.
A driver may notice vibrations or noise before the tread separates from the tire body.
About 146 CX-9s are recalled in the U.S. and six are recalled in Canada.
The automaker says no crashes or injuries have been reported due to the tire tread problems.
Mazda didn't announce when the CX-9 recall will begin or what dealerships will do to fix the problems, but affected U.S. customers may call 800-222-5500.
