Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC — Missing Information on Sidewall/FMVSS 119
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
If the tires are missing specific information such as the maximum load rate, the tires may be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Sumitomo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began March 15, 2018. Owners may contact Goodyear customer assistance at 1-800-592-3267.
