These tires are missing the "DOT" prefix, the required load/inflation information and do not list the material and number of structural plies. Thus, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, No. 119, "New Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) and Motorcycles."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Yokohama Tire Corporation (Yokohama) is recalling certain AVID Touring S tires, size 215/65R16 98T SL, produced between February 2009 and April 2009. The tires may have been produced with an irregular geometry in the casing turn up area above the tire bead in the lower sidewall. This irregular geometry may lead to a lower sidewall crack resulting in a rapid loss of tire inflation.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Tires / Markings

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain yokohama tires, size p215/60r15 avid h4s 93h, manufactured between december 2, 2007, and september 19, 2009, fail to conform to the tire identification requirement of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 139, "new pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles." the molded markings on one sidewall do not contain the complete tire identification number (tin) or partial (tin) as required.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The lack of a tin on both sides of the tire could make it more difficult for consumers to identify these tires if, in the future, a safety-related performance issue were to be discovered. As a consequence, there is a risk that the tires would not be removed from service, which, in turn, could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Yokohama's petition for relief from remedy based on its belief that the noncompliance was inconsequential to motor vehicle safety was denied by NHTSA on february 16, 2012. Accordingly, yokohama will conduct a safety recall campaign. It will notify registered owners and provide free replacement tires. The safety recall began on april 27, 2012. Owners may contact yokohama campaign service center at 1-888-801-4162.
