Toyo Tire Recall due to Possible Sidewall Defect
A tire recall involves Nitto and Toyo brand tires that could develop a crack in the sidewall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas Inc., recalled the 2,183 tires after discovering that some were manufactured with a wrinkle in the upper sidewall, which could eventually develop into a crack that could cause the tire to fail, posing a car accident risk and risk of serious injury resulting from a crash or possibly death.
According to the NHTSA:
“Toyo will notify owners and replace the affected tires free of charge, which includes mounting and balancing.”
The recalled tires include the following models:
- Nitto Terra Grappler All-Terrain 305/50R20 120S
- Toyo Open Country A/T / 305/50R20
- Toyo Proxes ST II / 305/50R20
