Toyo Tire U.S.A., based in Cypress, California, has issued a recall of almost 69,000 tires due to potential kinks in tire rims that could cause cracks that lead to tire failure, according to a news report.
Toyo said that the company’s model Toyo Extensa A/S is the subject of the recall, for tires that were distributed nationwide between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2010. Consumers have been advised to examine the sidewalls of their tires; the recalled tires were made in Toyo’s Georgia plant, have a “Made in USA” mark and the last four digits of the tire’s ID number ranges from 3809 to 4410.
Consumers who have the recalled tires can have them replaced for free. For more information, visit www.toyotires.com/recall-campaign or call 800-442-8696.
