Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the sidewall blisters or interliner separates it may cause a tire blow out at high speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd (Vee) is recalling certain Taiga M/T tires, size LT225/75R16, manufactured January 8, 2015, to May 7, 2015.
The sidewall of the affected tires may blister and the interliner may separate, compromising the integrity of the tires at high speeds.
As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.”
