I had thought it odd the other day when I posted the recall in the post above, that it was the exact same tire and dates from the recall last year, as specified in post #13 of this thread.

Today, I found out why the same tires are being recalled again. This one is going to be interesting to watch as I'm sure fines and lawsuits may ensue.

Liberty Tire is blamed for extending Kumho recall

Kumho Tire U.S.A. Inc. is recalling 11,922 Kumho Solus KH25 passenger car tires, size 225/45R17, produced from Aug. 21, 2011, through June 23, 2012.


All the tires associated with this recall relate to Kumho's initial recall for these tires covered by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall 12T-020.


"The affected tires were rendered unusable by being punctured with three drill holes through the tread surface and sent to Liberty Tire Recycling LLC for disposal," according to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. Instead, Liberty sold these tires as "used tires" to various tire wholesaler/distributors in Texas, New York, North Carolina and Puerto Rico.
The tires resold by Liberty have three drill hole punctures through the tread surface that if repaired, may not adhere to specific Rubber Manufacturers Association standards for tire repairs, "which could result in rapid air loss while the vehicle is in use, and result in a tire failure that could cause a crash."


Kumho will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected tires in accordance with the dealer notification letter. The safety recall began on May 6, 2013. Owners may contact Kumho at (909) 428-3358.

Thanks for posting this. Funny story is, I was on the phone with a friend of mine who sells Michelin tires about 40 miles south of here. I was waiting for him to walk into his warehouse to see if had some other tires I needed and was playing on Forest River forums waiting for him to come back...when I saw your post. I told my friend about it, and they haven't heard a word yet from Michelin on it.

I gave him the link, and he was less than enthused about seeing this on a Friday evening.
