Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The lack of complete DOT identification markings can lead to inappropriate use of the tires, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Trek Tire LLC (Trek Tire) is recalling certain Dunlop GrandTrek PT3A tires, size 275/50R21, manufactured between December 1, 2016, and December 7, 2016, which fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.” The affected tires lack the complete DOT identification marking prefix for radial tires and light vehicles.

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.
