The affected tires do not include the DOT symbol, tire identification number, maximum speed, maximum load and corresponding inflation pressure, and ply number/composition markings on the tire sidewall.
While the tires do contain alpha-numeric sidewall markings for both the load index and speed rating, these markings are not displayed in the required format.
If the operator unknowingly exceeds the maximum speed, load and corresponding inflation pressure specifications, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
