Hankook Tire America Corp.: Kinergy GT Tires Recalled for Missing Identification Markings

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hankook Tire America Corp. is recalling 9 Kinergy GT tires, size 235/60R18H H436, because they are missing the required 4-digit week and year code mark within the tire identification number (TIN). This missing information violates federal safety standards for tire recordkeeping and identification. To remedy the issue, dealers will replace the affected tires with new ones at no cost to the owner.

Risk

The absence of the date code makes it difficult for owners to determine if their specific tires are part of a safety recall. If an owner cannot identify a recalled tire, they may continue to drive on a potentially unsafe product, which increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the Tire Identification Number (TIN) on the sidewall of your Hankook Kinergy GT tires (size 235/60R18H H436) and check if the 4-digit week and year code is missing.
  2. If the tire identification number is incomplete or missing the date code, contact Hankook customer service at 1-800-426-5665 to arrange for a free tire replacement.
  3. You may also contact your local tire dealer or the vehicle manufacturer for assistance, as they will be mailing notification letters to affected owners.
  4. For further information or to report concerns, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
