Plain-English summary

Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas, Inc. is recalling certain OPEN Country H/T Tuff Duty tires and Nitto Dura Grappler Highway Terrain Dura-Belt tires. The affected models include specific sizes such as LT235/85 R16 120Q, LT245/75 R16 120R, and LT265/75 R16 123Q for the OPEN Country line, and LT245/75 R17 121Q, LT265/70 R17 121Q, and LT275/65 R18 123Q for the Nitto line.

The recall is due to stress on the belt edge, which may cause the tread or belt to separate. This separation can result in a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Toyo will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2014. Owners may contact Toyo customer service at 1-800-442-8696 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
