Alliance Tire Americas is recalling certain 14-17.5 ML Alliance 239 tires built for use on mining, logging and industrial equipment for restricted highway use, manufactured from week code 1613 through week code 1514. Potentially 286 tires are affected in this recall.
The affected tires are missing the required sidewall markings such as the letters DOT, the tire identification number, the load and inflation information, the number of plies and composition information and the tire load range. Tires that do not include identification numbers, loads and inflation amounts could cause a driver to overfill and overload the tires, resulting in a blowout which increases the risk of a crash.
Alliance said it would notify its customers of the recall, and dealers would install identical tires with the proper sidewall markings, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June. Owners may contact Alliance customer service at 800-343-3276.
