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.
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.
Dealers will replace the affected tires free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
