Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

• For a concern of slight or mild feathering-type wear, review the past tire rotation history with the customer.

  the passage

  If a vehicle comes into a dealership with a concern of slight or mild feathering-type wear on the tires, review with the customer their past tire rotation history.

Repair

1. Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 mi) on vehicles where rotation is possible or recommended.

   the passage

   Tires should be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 mi) for applicable vehicles with tires where a tire rotation is possible or recommended.

2. If the tires were not rotated within the last 12,000 km (7,500 mi), rotate them in the modified X-pattern to clean up the feathering rather than putting the vehicle on the alignment machine.

   the passage

   If the customer has not rotated the tires within the last 12,000 km (7,500 mi), a tire rotation in the modified X-pattern is necessary to clean-up the feathering, rather than placing the vehicle on the alignment machine.

Caution

• Some tire feathering is a normal part of tire wear; proper rotation and inflation minimize it and maximize tire life.

  the passage

  SOME TIRE FEATHERING IS A NORMAL PART OF TIRE WEAR AND THROUGH PROPER TIRE ROTATION AND INFLATION, THIS TIRE WEAR CAN BE MINIMIZED AND TIRE LIFE MAXIMIZED.
