Yokohama recalling tires that could suddenly lose air

Yokohama Tire Corporation is recalling  6,992 504C, size 11R22.5 16H tires. A defective belt cushion splice may allow air to leak into the sidewall.

An air bubble in the sidewall may cause a rapid loss of air pressure and loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Dealers will inspect and replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 2, 2023. Owners may contact Yokohama's customer service at 1-800-423-4544.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
