The short answer

NHTSA received Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC’s report on Nov 6, 2024. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

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

What’s wrong with it?

Tires produced with the incorrect cord material can increase the risk of tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Falken WildPeak AT4W size 275/60R20 115T tires.

The tires may have been produced using the incorrect cord material for one of the plies.

The sidewall label incorrectly identifies the generic name of the cord material.

As such, the affected tires do not meet the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, “New pneumatic radial tires for 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.
