Tires:sidewall

Reported Jul 27, 2016 · Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd.

Summary

Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd (Vee) is recalling certain Taiga M/T tires, size LT225/75R16, manufactured January 8, 2015, to May 7, 2015. The sidewall of the affected tires may blister and the interliner may separate, compromising the integrity of the tires at high speeds.

Consequence

If the sidewall blisters or interliner separates it may cause a tire blow out at high speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Vee has successfully quarantined the affected tires. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Vee customer service at 1-212-564-7575.
