Tireco Inc. is recalling certain Milestar BS623 tires that have incorrect markings on the sidewall.
Milestar tires affected by the recall are in size 225/70R 19.5 G/14 and were manufactured June 23, 2013, to Jan. 24, 2015.
Affected tires have incorrect markings on the sidewall that indicate both ratings as “DUAL” when the first rating should be “SINGLE.” Incorrect rating identifiers on tires may result in the operator mistakenly overloading the tires, which can cause failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Tireco will notify owners, and provide owners with a full refund of the entire purchase price. The recall is expected to begin October 10, 2016. Owners may contact Tireco customer service at 1-800-937-9433 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
