Goodyear Recalls Hercules Tires for Missing Identification Markings
Goodyear is recalling specific Hercules Terra Trac AT X-Venture tires because they lack the required week and year code on the tire identification number.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a compliance and labeling defect (missing TIN code) that creates a theoretical risk of prolonged tire usage or use of previously recalled tires, but no specific injuries or crashes are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is recalling certain Hercules Terra Trac AT X-Venture tires, size LT265/75R16. The recall is due to a defect where the tire identification number (TIN) is missing the 4-digit week and year code mark. This omission means the tires fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."
The missing production date information creates a safety risk because owners cannot determine when the tire was manufactured. This can lead to the prolonged use of a tire that should have been replaced or the unknowing use of a tire that has been subject to a previous recall. Either situation increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the affected tires free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 26, 2024. Owners may contact Goodyear customer service at 1-800-592-3267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
