NHTSA received GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO’s report on Feb 4, 2002. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 27, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
NHTSA files this as a safety improvement campaign, not a safety recall.
NHTSA’s records of these campaigns say each is “not a safety recall”, but is “deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency”. What’s wrong and the fix are below, in NHTSA’s words.
NHTSA, Recalls flat file before 2010. Released Oct 27, 2026. Updated daily.
IF A TIRE ON SUCH A VAN WERE TO EXPERIENCE A TREAD SEPARATION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF CONTROL AND A CRASH.
THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT.
HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY.
PRE-1992 MODELS OF THE ELIGIBLE 15-PASSENGER VANS MAY HAVE BEEN ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH LT23585R16 LRE TIRES.
THE SIDEWALL STAMPING READS, “TREAD 4 PLIES (2 POLYESTER CORD + 2 STEEL CORD).” THIS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IS LIMITED TO TIRES INSTALLED ON 15-PASSENGER VANS (WITH OR WITHOUT THE FIFTH ROW SEAT.)

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which tires, by their DOT codes: the range is in the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site, not in this file. Check the code on your tire’s sidewall against it.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
