Summary. Hankook Tire America Corp. (Hankook) is recalling certain Kinergy GT tires, size 235/60R18H H436. The tires contain a tire identification number (TIN) that is missing the 4-digit week and year code mark. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."
Consequence. Missing TIN information can make it difficult for tire owners to identify a tire involved in a recall. Owners may continue to drive on recalled tires, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The affected vehicle manufacturer will mail letters to owners. Owners may contact Hankook customer service at 1-800-426-5665.
