Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC is recalling approximately 150 Falken WildPeak AT4W tires, size 275/60R20 115T. These tires were manufactured with the incorrect cord material for one of the plies, which means the sidewall label incorrectly identifies the generic name of the material. This error violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139 for light vehicle pneumatic radial tires, and dealers will replace the affected tires for free.

Risk

Tires produced with the incorrect cord material can suffer from structural integrity issues, which increases the risk of sudden tire failure and a subsequent crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your tire sidewall to determine if you have Falken WildPeak AT4W tires in size 275/60R20 115T.
  2. If you have the affected tires, contact a local tire dealer to schedule a free replacement. Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge.
  3. For further information or to verify if your specific tires are part of the 150 units affected, contact Sumitomo customer service at 1-877-763-0416.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
