GY Recall

NHTSA Recall ID Number : 22T009
Synopsis : 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. Tread separation can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the tires installed on recreational vehicles, free of charge, and provide a $60 voucher for the cost of professionally weighing a recreational vehicle. Goodyear will offer a $500 refund for tires not installed on a vehicle. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Goodyear customer service at 1-800-592-3267.
  • Wow, Goodyear is recalling 19 to 26 year old tires? I'll bet this is part of a settlement of a lawsuit. I can not imagine why they would to this otherwise.
  • There cannot be or should not be many still on the road. Average tire life max is 7 years.
  • In related news, The NHSTA has ordered Ford to recall all Pinto's even tho the last was made 42 years ago in 1980. Doug
