INDIANA — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a safety recall for specific light truck tires manufactured by Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd. due to defects that could lead to sudden tire failure and potential crashes.
The recall (NHTSA ID: 26T006) focuses on the Taiga AT model, specifically size LT235/85R16 AT.
According to the official synopsis, these tires may experience cracking and separation in the lower sidewall and inner liner. Because of this defect, the tires fail to meet the rigorous safety requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 139, which governs new pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles.
The primary concern for drivers is the risk of sudden loss of tire pressure. If the tire layers separate while the vehicle is in motion, it can lead to a complete tire failure, significantly increasing the likelihood of a high-speed accident.
