What’s wrong with it?
In the event of a safety recall, tires missing a TIN from the outboard sidewall cannot be readily identified.
Certain Vogue Tyre & Rubber Company (Vogue) Custom Built tires, size 225/50R17, and Signature V tires, sizes 225/50R17, 235/50R18, and 245/45R18, produced in the weeks of 0112-3212 (January 1, 2012 through August 11, 2012) fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.” The tires do not have the full tire identification number (TIN) branded on the tire’s outboard sidewall, as required by the standard.

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.
