Yokohama Tire Corporation is recalling approximately 6,125 tires, including TY517 MC2 and BluEarth 109L models, due to a manufacturing defect in the rubber compound. This defect can cause the rubber layers to fail to stick together properly, leading to the tire tread separating from the casing while driving. Owners should contact an authorized dealer for a free inspection and replacement of any affected tires.
The tread can suddenly separate from the tire, leading to immediate tire failure and a sudden loss of vehicle control. This significantly increases the risk of a crash or accident.
You have 2 options:
Dealers will inspect the tires to verify if they are part of the recalled batch.
Affected tires will be replaced free of charge.
