Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sumitomo Rubber USA is recalling 1,900 tires, specifically Falken Wildpeak AT3W and Wildpeak HT02 models. A manufacturing error caused these tires to potentially have a puncture in the sidewall, which can lead to a sudden leak or loss of air pressure. Owners can have these tires replaced by a dealer at no cost to resolve the safety issue.

Risk

A punctured sidewall causes the tire to lose air pressure unexpectedly, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. This defect means the tires do not comply with federal safety standards for pneumatic radial tires.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your tire sidewall to see if you have Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires in size 265/70R17 115T or Falken Wildpeak HT02 tires in size LT235/85R16 120/116S.
  2. If you have these specific tires, contact an authorized Sumitomo or Falken dealer to schedule a free replacement.
  3. You may contact Sumitomo customer service directly at 1-877-763-0416 if you have questions about the replacement process.
  4. For additional information, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
