Goodyear tire recalls

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain Eagle F1 Supersport tires, sizes 305/30ZR21 and 255/35ZR20. The tire tread may separate.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain Metro Miler G652 tires, size B305/85R22.5. The inner liner gauge may be out of specification in the shoulder area of the tire, causing a loss of tire pressure.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain G622 RSD, size 225/70R19.5 tires. The tires contain a tire identification number (TIN) that is missing the 4-digit week and year code mark. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain G159 tires, size 275/70R22.5 with DOT date codes 046 through 0403. The tread may separate from the tire.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain Fortera HL tires, size P255/65R18. Due to a manufacturing issue, the tire may experience a belt separation.

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.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain G399A LHS tires, size 295/75R22.5 LRG, manufactured January 24, 2016, to May 28, 2016. Due to an anomaly during the curing press set-up operation, incomplete adhesion between the tread and the top belt may have occurred.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) is recalling certain Fortera HL P255/65R18 109S tires manufactured November 30, 2014, to January 10, 2015. The affected tires experienced cracking of the tread during tire endurance testing inspection. Thus, these tires fail to comply with requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 139, "New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles."

GOODYEAR IS RECALLING CERTAIN WRANGLER SILENT ARMOR TIRES, SIZES LT235/80R17 LRE, LT325/60R18 LRE, LT275/70R18 LRE, LT265/70R17 LRE, LT245/75R17 LRE, AND LT285/70R17 LRD, PRODUCED FROM THE 9TH WEEK OF 2009, THROUGH THE 22ND WEEK OF 2009 (MARCH 1ST THROUGH MAY 31ST). THESE TIRES MAY EXPERIENCE A PARTIAL TREAD AREA SEPARATION UNDER CERTAIN SEVERE USAGE CONDITIONS.

GOODYEAR TIRE IS RECALLING 18 GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A, SIZE P235/55R18 99V, MANUFACTURED DURING THE WEEK OF JANUARY 7, 2008, WHICH FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE LABELING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 139, "NEW PNEUMATIC RADIAL TIRES FOR LIGHT VEHICLES." THESE TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT FULL TIN ON ONE SIDEWALL BUT DO NOT CONTAIN THE CORRECT PARTIAL TIN ON THE OTHER SIDEWALL.

CERTAIN GOODYEAR EAGLE GPH TIRES, SIZE P195/60R15, PRODUCED ON MAY 23, 2004. THESE TIRES DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT SIDEWALL MARKING WHICH DOES NOT COMFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109.

THESE TIRES FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE ENDURANCE TESTS OF FMVSS NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES."

TIRES DO NOT HAVE TREADWEAR INDICATOR MOLDED IN THE TIRE TO ENABLE A PERSON TO VISUALLY DETERMINE WHEN TIRE IS WORN DOWN TO ONE-SIXTEENTH OF AN INCH AND MUST BE REPLACED.

AN IRREGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF RUBBER GAGE IN THE BEAD AREA THAT MAY IN TIME CAUSE AN ABNORMAL STRESS CRACK TO PROPAGATE THROUGH THE RUBBER TO THE PLY CORDS. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE CRACK THROUGH THE RUBBER TO THE PLY CORDS MAY EVENTUALLY BREAK OUT ON THE OUTER SURFACE AND COULD RESULT IN SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR AND VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

CRACKING MAY DEVELOP IN TREAD GROOVES AT THE CENTERLINE. IF TIRES CONTINUE TO BE USED, CHUNKS OF TREAD MAY BE LOST AND SEPARATION OF THE RUBBER COMPOUND FROM THE REINFORCING PLIES MAY OCCUR. TIRES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE ENDURANCE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS".

TIRES MAY UNSEAT FROM THE WHEEL AND DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE BEAD UNSEATING RESISTANCE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES".

THE THICKNESS OF THE MATERIAL UNDER THE TREAD COVERING THE NYLON OVERLAY IS NOT SUFFICIENT. CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE SHOULDER AREA OF THE TIRE.

TIRES MAY NOT BE CAPABLE OF CARRYING THEIR FULL RATED LOAD. THIS COULD LEAD TO SEPARATION OF THE RUBBER COMPOUND IN THE SIDEWALL AREAS. TIRES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LABELING AND ENDURANCE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109. "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES".

DURING AUTOMATIC MOUNTING OF THE TIRES ON STYLED STEEL WHEELS OF CERTAIN CHRYSLER VEHICLES, TIRES MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED IN THE BEAD AREA. THE DAMAGE MAY ALLOW AIR TO FLOW INTO THE SIDE WALL AREA, LEADING TO A SEPARATION OF THE REINFORCING PLIES FROM THE RUBBER COMPOUND.

THE INVOLVED TIRES MAY HAVE LESS RUBBER INSULATION BETWEEN THE INSIDE EXTREMITY OF THE BEAD BUNDLE AND WIRE PLY STOCK THAN IS DESIRABLE. THIS CONDITION RESULTS IN A FRETTING OR FRAYING ACTION OF THE WIRE PLY STOCK WHEN CONTACT IS MADE WITH THE BEAD BUNDLE. THIS COULD RESULT IN BROKEN PLY CORD WIRES MANIFESTED BY A RECTANGULAR SHAPED BULGE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SUDDEN AIR LOSS.

THE SUSPECT TIRES HAVE SMALL VOIDS IN THE SHOULDER AREA CAUSED BY INSUFFICIENT STITCHING PRESSURE AT THE BUILDING MACHINE.

QUESTIONABLE RUBBER FEEDSTOCK AND OTHER MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE TIRES. THIS MAY CAUSE A SEPARATION OF THE REINFORCING PLIES FROM THE RUBBER COMPOUND RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR.

TIRES MAY HAVE AN INSUFFICIENT BEAD WIDTH WHICH MAY ALLOW A GRADUAL LOSS OF INFLATION PRESSURE. THE BEAD IS THE SURFACE OF THE TIRE THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE WHEEL.

CERTAIN TIRES WERE PRODUCED WITH A WRINKLED AND BUCKLED FABRIC ABNORMALITY WHICH CAN CAUSE CRACKING IN THE BEAD TURN-UP AREA OF THE TIRE. CRACKING CAN PROMOTE DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE CARCASS AND LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE.

THE INVOLVED TIRES WERE PRODUCED WITH WRINKLED AND BUCKLED FABRIC ENDINGS IN THE BEAD TURNUP OF THE TIRE. THIS ABNORMALITY CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE CRACKING IN THIS AREA.

TIRES MAY NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 109, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES". THESE TIRES HAVE INSUFFICIENT SIDEWALL GAUGE AT THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD JUNCTION. IF SUBJECTED TO SUSTAINED HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MAXIMUM LOADS, CRACKING COULD DEVELOP IN THE UPPER SIDEWALL. CRACKS IN THIS AREA WILL CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE CORD, RESULTING IN TIRE FAILURE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR.

THESE TIRES ARE SUBJECT TO SEPARATION AT THE BELT EDGES BETWEEN THE TOP BELT AND THE TREAD. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN UNEVEN TREADWEAR; SINCE TIRES MAY BE USED IN HIGH SPEED POLICE PURSUITS, A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM IS PRESENT.

THE INVOLVED TIRES MAY HAVE CRACKS IN THE LOWER BEAD AREA OF THE TIRE SIDEWALL. THESE CRACKS MAY LEAD TO FURTHER DETERIORATION OF THE TIRE IN SERVICE.

THE INVOLVED TIRES MAY DEVELOP SEPARATION BETWEEN THE BELT PLIES. AS A RESULT, BELT SEPARATION OR SEPARATION AT THE BELT EDGE MAY OCCUR.

THE INVOLVED TIRES CONTAIN PLY ENDINGS IN THE OUTER TWO LAYERS OF PLY FABRIC WHICH DO NOT EXTEND UNDER THE BEAD BUNDLE TO THE BEAD TOE. THIS CAUSES THE BEAD AREA OF THE TIRE TO CHAFE AGAINST THE METAL RIM AND SLOWLY LEAK AIR.

THE INVOLVED TIRES FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 119, "NEW PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS", DUE TO SEPARATION IN THE SHOULDER AREA. THIS CONDITION WILL RESULT IN VIBRATION AND SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR FROM TIRE.
