Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas, Inc. is recalling certain Toyo and Nitto brand tires produced between September 19, 2010, and October 2, 2010, due to a defect in the rubber chemical mixture. The affected models include various Toyo tires (Versado CUV in multiple sizes, Versado LX II, Open Country All Terrain, and Tourevo LS II) and Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain tires. Sections of tread on these tires may become detached, which could cause loss of vehicle control and potentially result in a crash.
Toyo will replace the recalled tires free of charge, including mounting, balancing, and taxes. Owners of affected tires should contact Toyo toll-free at 1-800-442-8696 (6:30 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time) or Nitto at 1-888-529-8200 (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time) to arrange a replacement.
