Kenda Issues Tire Recall

Kenda Tire USA is recalling certain Kenda Kenetica tires due to defects.

Kenda Tire USA is recalling certain Kenda Kenetica tires, size P235/75R15 105S KR17.

Approximately 696 tires were impacted and have the DOT code K3D5ANA5116 and K3D5ANA5216, Kenda said. The tires may have a void between the top steel belt and the tire undertread located at the overlapped steel belt splice. The void can grow under normal use, possibly resulting in a tread separation or a sudden loss of air in the tire, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Kenda will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the affected tires  free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during June 2017.

Owners may contact Kenda customer service at 1-866-536-3287. Kenda’s number for this recall is K3D5ANA5116-5216.
