TIRES

Issued by Beijing Capital Tyre Co., LTD · Reported Jul 23, 2013 · 2,711 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Beijing Capital Tyre Co. (BCT) is recalling certain Autoguard LT245/75R16 tires manufactured June 25th, 2012, through November 11th, 2012. These tires failed the endurance test standards of FMVSS 139 and contain incorrect maximum load load data on the sidewall. Thus, these tires fail to to comply to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."

Consequence

During use, the tires may crack in the tread area leading to sudden air loss, and tire failure. Additionally, owners may unknowingly overload the tires which may lead to tire failure. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Beijing Capital Tyre will notify owners and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began on September 17, 2013. Owners may contact Tire & Wheel Master at 1-209-465-9000.
