It is believed that up to 175,000 Toyo and Nitto brand tyres are subject to a recall notice issued in the USA.

The tyre are being recalled as “production variances in the belt package” have been detected in a small number of tyres, and this has the potential to lead to a separation of the tread and belt and/or a loss of inflation pressure.
