Plain-English summary

Dynamic Tire Corp. is recalling certain Towmax STR tires, size ST225/75 R15, manufactured between June 15, 2014, and October 14, 2014. The affected tires may have incorrect load capacity and inflation pressure stampings, which means they fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 119 for new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars.

The incorrect information on the tire labels could lead drivers to overinflate the tires. Tire overinflation may increase the risk of tire failure, which in turn can increase the risk of a crash.

The recall began on December 24, 2014. Dynamic will notify owners, and dealers will replace all eligible tires free of charge. Owners may contact Dynamic QA/Compliance at 1-905-595-5558 Ext. 508 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
