MAC Tools tire pressure gauges recalled due to inaccurate pressure readings
Stanley Assembly Technologies is recalling certain MAC Tools tire pressure gauges because they may display lower than actual pressure when battery voltage is low, potentially causing tires to burst.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a product where inaccurate readings could lead to a tire bursting and causing injury, representing a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Stanley Assembly Technologies (SAT) is recalling specific MAC Tools tire pressure gauges, including models DTG1000C, DTG1000, DTG1000B, DTG1000A, and DTG1014. These gauges were sold exclusively through MAC independent dealers.
The defect occurs when low battery voltage causes the gauge to display a pressure reading that is lower than the actual pressure. If a user relies on this inaccurate reading and continues to inflate the tire, the tire may burst due to over-pressure, which increases the risk of injury.
To address this, signs will be posted in MAC trucks, and users will be compensated for each returned gauge. Owners can contact SAT customer service at 1-614-876-3809 for more information.
