If this is the problem you're putting so much weight on, where's the issue with buying new a tire? If you know the parameters, which are printed on the tire itself, you can buy a new one. Once your bike is ready for recall, I'd put on the original set and have it replaced for a new one.
But I myself wouldn't have an issue with just removing the tube once to take a look at it and the tire, then either replace something or just reassemble it and wait until it breaks due to wear, as it will do anyway sometime down the line.
The only difference will be that it will break because of wear (not the companies fault) or because it was of low quality. But I would never assume that this would cause some kind of harm which puts any life in danger, specially because it has 4 wheels.
