Recall 19T003000: Tires, Markings

NHTSA recall 19T003000 · announced March 26, 2019 · Contender · 560 units affected

The problem

Trans Texas Tire (TTT) is recalling certain Contender 5.70-8 tires sold exclusively through Discount Tire stores. The tire sidewalls are incorrectly labeled, in that each side of the tire may state different PLY and PSI markings. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."

The risk

The incorrect PLY and PSI markings may result in underinflating or overloading the tires, increasing the risk of crash.

What to do

TTT will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires with tires that have the correct sidewall markings, free of charge. The recall began May 2, 2019. Owners may contact Trans Texas Tire customer service at 1-903-572-0267.
