What’s wrong with it?

TIRES NOT MEETING THE TIRE STRENGTH TEST REQUIREMENT COULD BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FAILURE FOLLOWING IMPACT WITH ROAD HAZARDS. TIRE FAILURE FOLLOWING ROAD HAZARDS CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

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.

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.
