NHTSA recall 16T010000 · announced July 27, 2016 · Vee Rubber · 21 units affected

The problem

Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd (Vee) is recalling certain Taiga M/T tires, size LT225/75R16, manufactured January 8, 2015, to May 7, 2015. The sidewall of the affected tires may blister and the interliner may separate, compromising the integrity of the tires at high speeds.

The risk

If the sidewall blisters or interliner separates it may cause a tire blow out at high speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Vee has successfully quarantined the affected tires. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Vee customer service at 1-212-564-7575.
