Tire recalls 2024-2025 — every brand, every campaign, what to do

We catalog 1,167 NHTSA tire recalls in our database. The 2024 and 2025 recalls (52 total) are documented here by manufacturer, with model and DOT code details, plus the remediation steps owners should take.

NHTSA recalled 29 tire campaigns in 2024 and 23 in 2025 — 52 total over the two-year window — covering models from nearly every major manufacturer. We catalog all 1,167 tire recalls in NHTSA's database, with daily ingestion from api.nhtsa.gov. This guide is the complete 2024-2025 list, organized by manufacturer, with the specific models, DOT date codes, and remediation steps owners should take.

If you suspect your tire might be under recall, the fastest check is the NHTSA recall lookup using your tire's DOT date code. The sidewall code guide walks through finding the DOT code on the tire's inner sidewall.

2025 tire recall campaigns

23 separate recall campaigns were filed in 2025. By manufacturer count:

The Indonesian and Italian manufacturer recalls in 2025 are noteworthy — both involved import lots where DOT marking or compound issues affected specific batches. If you have aftermarket tires from a less-familiar brand, checking the NHTSA database against your DOT date code is the only reliable way to confirm.

2024 tire recall campaigns

29 campaigns in 2024 — a 26% increase over 2023's 28 campaigns, but in line with the longer-term trend (2022 saw 43, an outlier high). Major 2024 recalls included:

The full list with NHTSA campaign IDs is available on the NHTSA recalls site; we mirror the database for quick lookup.

Tire recalls by manufacturer — historical context

Our complete database tracks 1,167 tire recalls dating back to NHTSA's earliest digitized records. Top manufacturers by total recall count:

High recall counts correlate with manufacturer size more than quality — Cooper, Goodyear, and Bridgestone are large manufacturers with large recall histories. Per-tire-sold recall rate is the right metric, and on that basis the major US manufacturers cluster within a narrow band.

What a recall actually means for you

If a tire on your vehicle is under recall, NHTSA requires the manufacturer to provide a free remedy. The remedy is typically:

  1. Free replacement with an equivalent tire from the same manufacturer (most common)
  2. Free repair or modification (rare for tires; common for vehicle-side issues like a TPMS module)
  3. Refund at fair-market value (rare; usually only when the manufacturer can't supply a replacement)

The recall is good indefinitely — there's no statute of limitations on getting the remedy. If your tire is under recall, contact any authorized dealer of that brand or use the manufacturer's online recall portal. You'll need the DOT date code from the tire's sidewall.

Finding your tire's DOT date code

The DOT code is on the tire's sidewall, usually on the inboard side (facing the vehicle) in a small oval. It's a string starting with "DOT" followed by several characters. The last four digits are the date code — first two digits are the week, last two are the year. A tire stamped "DOT XXXXXXXX 2317" was manufactured in week 23 of 2017.

NHTSA's lookup tool requires the full DOT string (not just the date code). The sidewall code guide covers what every marker on the sidewall means.

Staying current on new recalls

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to claim a tire recall remedy?
Indefinitely. NHTSA does not put a statute of limitations on safety recalls. As long as the tire still has a recognizable DOT code, the manufacturer is obligated to provide the remedy.
What if my tire is recalled but I bought it used?
Doesn't matter. The recall remedy follows the tire, not the original purchaser. Bring the tire to any authorized dealer of that brand with the DOT code visible.
Will I get charged for mounting and balancing the replacement?
The replacement tire itself is free under recall. Mounting and balancing labor is sometimes covered, sometimes not — it depends on the specific recall and the dealer. Ask up front.
Are tire recalls covered by tire warranties separately?
Yes. A recall claim doesn't use up your warranty. They're separate programs.
Do I need to keep records of recall replacements?
Keep the replacement receipt — proof that the remedy was applied. If the same tire is later in a wreck or claim, the receipt confirms the recall was properly addressed.
