Plain-English summary

Shandong Jinyu Industrial Co. LTD. is recalling certain Jinyu YS78 and Evergreen ES89 AT tires, size LT225/75R16, manufactured between April 1, 2011, and August 31, 2014. These tires are identified by DOT date codes 1611 through 4314.

The affected tires may not be able to properly dissipate heat. As a result, the tire belts may separate. If the tire belts separate, the tire may suddenly lose air, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will cover the cost of replacement tires and mount the new tires for free. The recall began on July 29, 2015. Owners may contact Shandong customer service at 1-786-521-1296 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
