Yokohama Tire Corporation — SIDEWALL MARKINGS/OMITTED FULL OR PARTIAL TIN
Yokohama Tire Corporation
Hazard
THE LACK OF A TIN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY THESE TIRES IF, IN THE FUTURE, A SAFETY-RELATED PERFORMANCE ISSUE WERE TO BE DISCOVERED. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE, WHICH, IN TURN, COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
YOKOHAMA'S PETITION FOR RELIEF FROM REMEDY BASED ON ITS BELIEF THAT THE NONCOMPLIANCE WAS INCONSEQUENTIAL TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY WAS DENIED BY NHTSA ON FEBRUARY 16, 2012. ACCORDINGLY, YOKOHAMA WILL CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN. IT WILL NOTIFY REGISTERED OWNERS AND PROVIDE FREE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 27, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT YOKOHAMA CAMPAIGN SERVICE CENTER AT 1-888-801-4162.
