Sailun tire recall

[onetonford]

Just got this in an email today thought everybody should know.

NHTSA Recall ID Number :
19T001
Synopsis :
Dynamic Tire Corp (Dynamic) is recalling certain Sailun tires S698 157/154 L PR20 size 315/80R22.5 produced June 18, 2018-June 25, 2018. The TIN (Tire Identification Number) on the tire sidewall is incomplete and does not include the date of manufacture. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic tires- other than passenger cars." Tires with an incomplete TIN and subject to a safety recall would be impossible to identify as being affected by a safety recall. Tires affected by a safety recall can increase the risk of a crash. Dynamic Tire will notify owners, and dealers will reimburse the purchase price or replace the tire, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact Dynamic Tire customer service at 1-905-595-5558.

Sounds like there's nothing really wrong with the tire(s), they just don't have the proper printing on the side.

Kind of like driving a car down the road with a partially obscured license plate number.


If the TIN is incomplete it makes me wonder how the Mfr is going to track the "defective" tires down? Highway check points?
