Really, do a Google on Google with theses words:
Cooper tire Chicken bones or NHTSA Recall Cooper Tires or Recall Cooper Tires and you will get a lot of hits. These are just two out of many....

I used to use Cooper Tires back in the 70s for Rally Racing, and found they were excellent. I continued to use Cooper until they started making terrible tires. So, I switched.

Not saying some of their tires are great, just saying, the ones I purchased a few years ago were the biggest piece of s**ts I have ever owned. Knew some guys who purchased their Zeons for performance, and withing six months, got rid of them.

I'll be honest, I have never tried their off-road tires, but also to be honest, I NEVER will.
