NHTSA Campaign ID Number : 14T015Synopsis : Dynamic Tire Corp. (Dynamic) is recalling certain Towmax STR tires, size ST225/75 R15 manufactured June 15, 2014, to October 14, 2014. The affected tires may have the Incorrect Load Capacity and Inflation Pressure Stampings. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 119, "New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars." The misinformation on the label could lead a driver to overinflate the tires. Tire overinflation may increase the risk of a tire failure which can increase the risk of a crash. Dynamic will notify owners, and dealers will replace all eligible tires, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Dynamic customer service at 1-905-595-3593.Thank you,Recalls Subscription TeamOffice of Defects Investigation (ODI)National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchResults?refurl=email&sear...
