TIRES:SIDEWALL

Issued by Tireco Inc. · Reported Sep 7, 2016 · 11,904 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Tireco Inc. (Tireco) is recalling certain Milestar BS623 tires, size 225/70R 19.5 G/14, manufactured June 23, 2013, to January 24, 2015. The affected tires have incorrect markings on the sidewall, indicating both ratings as "DUAL" when the first rating should be identified as "SINGLE." As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."

Consequence

Incorrectly identifying the ratings on the tires may result in the operator inadvertently overloading the tires, possibly causing their failure, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Tireco will notify owners, and provide owners with a full refund of the entire purchase price. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Tireco customer service at 1-800-937-9433.
