National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Tire Recall September 17, 2022

Good morning.  It's Saturday.  Enjoy!

This morning, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a recall for failing tires.  The tread might separate possibly causing loss of vehicle control possibly resulting in a crash and personal injury or worse.

Please review the recall.  If your tires are affected by this recall please take appropriate steps to resolve the issue.

Have a healthy and safe motoring day!

Synopsis :

Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Falken Pro G5 CSV tires, size 235/65R17 104V, 235/65R18 106V, 245/50R20 102V, and 265/50R20 111V. An inadequate sulfur level in the tread base compound prevented proper curing of the tread base rubber. Inadequate curing may lead to tread separating from the tire, causing vehicle instability, and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 3, 2022. Owners may contact Falken tire's customer service at 1-877-763-0416.
