Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Dunlop TT93FGP PRO and TT93FGP PRO MS motorcycle tires, size 120/80-12 55J and 100/90-12 49J. During manufacturing, some of the sidewall compound may have contaminated the tread surface, reducing the tire's traction.

Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Dunlop GPR-300F tires, size 110/70R17M/C 54H. The tires may have a defect that causes inner liner bulging and looseness at the tire breaker edge. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires- Other than Passenger Cars."

Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Falken ZIEX CT50 A/S tires, size P255/50R20 104V, having date code 1619, Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires, size 215/45R18 89W, having date code 0919, and Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires size P215/50R17 90V, having date code 0619. An incorrect rubber compound may have been used in manufacturing, which may allow sections near the tread surface to become partially detached.

Trek Tire LLC (Trek Tire) is recalling certain Dunlop GrandTrek PT3A tires, size 275/50R21, manufactured between December 1, 2016, and December 7, 2016, which fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." The affected tires lack the complete DOT identification marking prefix for radial tires and light vehicles.

Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC (Sumitomo) is recalling certain models of Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ motorcycle tires, size 120/70ZR17 58W. The affected tires may have porosity (air pockets) in the shoulder region of the tire.

As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."

GOODYEAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN DUNLOP SP193 COMMERCIAL TRAILER TIRES, SIZE 295/75R22.5, PRODUCED FROM JANUARY 24 THROUGH MAY 29, 2010. THESE TIRES COULD EXPERIENCE AIR LOSS AND IF GONE UNDETECTED, THE TIRE COULD BE DRIVEN WHILE UNDER INFLATED.

GOODYEAR IS RECALLING 5,300 DUNLOP WINTER SPORT 3D TIRES, SIZE 225/50R17 (DOT CODE DM40 2TTR), AND DUNLOP WINTER SPORT M3 TIRES, SIZE 275/35R18 (DOT CODE DMBL 2J8R), MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 4, 2005, THROUGH MAY 17, 2008. THESE TIRES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE TIRE STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES."

CERTAIN SUMITOMO DUNLOP MOTOR SCOOTER TIRES, SIZES 150/70-13M 64S SX01 AND 130/70-13M 63P SX01 RF, DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES.

CERTAIN DUNLOP WINTER SPORT M3, SIZE 255/40R19 100V. THESE TIRES WERE CURED WITHOUT THE REQUIRED "DOT" STAMP. THE SUBJECT TIRES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES.

TIRE DESCRIPTION: LT215/85R16 "D" LOAD RANGE, SERIAL NOS. U2BA7KL308 THROUGH 129 AND "E" LOAD RANGE, SERIAL NOS. U2BAWKL198 THROUGH 129. STRESS CRACKS OR SPLITS CAN DEVELOP WHERE THE SIDEWALL ATTACHES TO THE SQUARE BEAD WIRE BUNDLE.

THE TIRES FAILED THE MANUFACTURER'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTENDED HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE (TIRES COMPLY WITH FMVSS 109,"NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES").

POSSIBLE DAMAGE IN THE LOWER INSIDE SIDEWALLS. THIS DAMAGE IS EVIDENT AS TEARS IN THE RUBBER AND FABRIC OF THE FINISHED TIRE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LONG TERM AIR LOSS AND FAILURE OF THE TIRE IS A POSSIBILITY AND MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

TIRES INCORRECTLY LABELED TUBELESS ON SIDE WALL ALTHOUGH TUBE TYPE APPEARS ON PAPER LABEL.

TIRES FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 109, NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES, ENDURANCE TESTS.

TIRES MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO TREAD SEPARATION.

ABSENCE OF REQUIRED MARKINGS, SUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SYMBOL, SERIAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, MANUFACTURER"S IDENTIFICATION, WEEK AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. TIRES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES".

TIRES WERE MOLDED WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION LISTED FOR PLY RATING AND LOAD RANGE. THESE TIRES ARE INCORRECTLY MARKED "6 PR" AND "LOAD RANGE C" INSTEAD OF "4 PR" AND "LOAD RANGE B". TIRES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LABELING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS".

A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE PRODUCTION IN THIS SIZE AND TYPE MAY HAVE A MISPLACED PLY ENDING IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL. AS A RESULT, FLEXING WILL DEVELOP IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL UNDER SUSTAINED HIGH TIRE LOAD AND COULD RESULT IN TREAD SEPARATION AND COMPONENT BREAKUP.

DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, LOCAL AREAS OF ENTRAPPED AIR AT THE TIRE TREAD CENTERLINE AND BETWEEN THE TREAD AND THE TOP PLY WERE PRESENT IN SOME TIRES. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE.

THE INVOLVED TIRES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". FLEXING MAY DEVELOP IN THE LOWER SIDEWALL UNDER MAXIMUM TIRE LOADS AND COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION AND BREAKUP OF TIRE COMPONENTS. AS A RESULT, THE TIRE MAY FAIL, LOSING INFLATING AIR.

DUE TO POSSIBLE INCOMPLETE VULCANIZATION OF RUBBER IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS, TIRE TEMPERATURES THAT OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAY CAUSE A SEPARATION OF THE REINFORCING PLIES FROM THE RUBBER COMPOUND.

TIRES MAY DEVELOP SEPARATION OF THE REINFORCING PLIES FROM THE RUBBER COMPOUND AND DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES".

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAIL TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES". TREAD SEPARATION COULD DEVELOP AND CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE.

THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT TIRE BREAKER EDGE LOOSENESS MAY OCCUR AND LEAD TO TREAD CHUNKING OR LOCAL TREAD SEPARATION.

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAIL TO MEET THE HIGH SPEED REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES". THESE TIRES MAY DEVELOP TREAD OR BELT SEPARATIONS DUE TO INADEQUATE ADHESION PROPERTIES OF THE STEEL REINFORCING BELTS, IN COMBINATION WITH TIRE TEMPERATURES GENERATED AT SUSTAINED HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS", DUE TO THE OMISSION OF LOAD RATING AND CORRESPONDING INFLATION PRESSURE INFORMATION ON THE TIRE SIDEWALL. THIS OMISSION MAY LEAD TO IMPROPER LOAD AND INFLATION PRESSURES WHICH MAY DECREASE TIRE LIFE.
