KUMHO SOLUS KH25
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Kumho Tire U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain Kumho Solus KH25 passenger car tires, size 225/45R17, manufactured between August 21, 2011 and June 23, 2012. These tires were originally punctured with three drill holes through the tread surface to render them unusable and were sent to Liberty Tire Recycling for disposal. However, Liberty instead sold these damaged tires as used tires to various wholesalers and distributors in Texas, New York, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico.
If these tires are repaired, the repairs may not meet Rubber Manufacturers Association standards, which could cause rapid air loss while driving and result in tire failure that could cause a crash. Kumho will notify owners, and dealers will replace affected tires. Owners of affected tires should contact Kumho at 1-909-428-3358.
