Toyo and Nitto Tires Recalled for Potential Tread Separation

Agency Publication Date: October 13, 2025

Summary

Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas is recalling 36,919 tires across several Toyo and Nitto brand models, including the Open Country and Grappler series. Contamination during the production process may prevent the tire layers from sticking together properly, which can cause the tire tread to separate. Dealers will replace all affected tires with new ones free of charge.

Risk

If the tire tread separates while the vehicle is in motion, it can cause the vehicle to become unstable. This sudden loss of stability increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

This recall affects approximately 36,919 tires sold under the Toyo and Nitto brands, including Open Country A/T III, Open Country R/T Trail, Open Country M/T, Open Country H/T II, Crosstek 2, Dura Grappler Highway Terrain, Exo Grappler AWT, Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain, Recon Grappler A/T, Ridge Grappler, Terra Grappler G3 A/T, and Trail Grappler M/T models.
Check the sidewall of your tires to identify the brand and model name. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
