I was driving my car home from work when my tire pressure sensor noticed that my pressure in my front tire was going down. I got to my house and pulled into the garage and heard the air leaving my tire. I changed the tire and took the car to the dealer to pay to have another tire replaced. This is the 2nd Hankook Ventus S1 noble 2 that I have had to replace due to side wall cracks. The same issue that has affected the Genesis where Hyundai recalled the tire.

SUMMARY:

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2015 Genesis vehicles manufactured March 3, 2014, to February 9, 2015, and equipped with Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 tires installed as original equipment. The affected tires may develop cracks in the tire sidewall, resulting in a loss of air.

CONSEQUENCE:

Tire sidewall cracks could cause a rupture during use, resulting in a rapid air loss and loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

I had to have my Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 tire replaced after the sidewall ruptured while driving. I pulled over, changed the tire and took the car to Hyundai and I had to pay for a replacement. I didn't know this at the time but Hyundai recalled this same tire that was original equipment on the Hyundai Genesis.

This was the same thing that happened to my car but they aren't recalling that one.
