Hercules Recalls 90,000 Tires

Hercules Tire & Rubber Company is recalling nearly 90,000 All Trac A/T SUV tires due to a tread defect. Affected tires could experience tread separation causing a sudden loss in air, increasing the risk of vehicle users to lose control, the tiremaker said.

Tires in the recall were produced between June 2008 and May 2010.

Recalled tires include:

  • 235/70R16 106T, produced between June 17, 2008 and May 25, 2010
