What happened

Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc. is recalling certain 14-17.5 ML Alliance 239 tires manufactured between week code 1613 and week code 1514 for use on mining, logging, and industrial equipment. These tires are missing required sidewall markings, including the DOT letters, tire identification number, load and inflation information, ply count, composition information, and tire load range. Without this critical information, drivers could overfill or overload the tires, leading to blowouts and increasing crash risk.

To resolve this issue, Alliance will notify customers and dealers will install identical tires with proper sidewall markings at no cost. The recall began in June 2014. Owners of affected tires should contact Alliance Tire customer service at 1-800-343-3276.
