Multistrada Achilles tyres recalled in the US

In the USA, Multistrada is recalling 6,318 Achilles Desert Hawk A/P LT in size LT215/85 R16 115/112R 10PR. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) recall notice, the tyres have the DOT date code range 1915 to 3618.

The apparent problem with the tyres is that “the lower sidewall…may separate, causing failure to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.”

Multistrada says it will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tyres free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on 9 December 2018.
