TIRES
Issued by Yokohama Tire Corporation · Reported Nov 19, 2018 · 529 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Yokohama Tire Corporation (Yokohama) is recalling certain Yokohama RY023 tires, size 295/75R22.5 (14G), that have DOT date code 2318. The rubber compound may be incorrect, possibly resulting in the tread separating from the casing. 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
If the tread separates, the driver may experience a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Yokohama has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the tires, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 29, 2018. Owners may contact Yokohama customer service at 1-800-722-9888.
