Hankook tire recall alert – Franklin County Free Press

Hankook Tire America Corp. is recalling certain Kinergy GT tires, size 235/60R18H H436, due to a violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 574, which relates to “Tire Identification and Record-Keeping.” The recalled tires are missing the four-digit week and year code on their tire identification number (TIN). This omission makes it difficult to identify recalled tires and may cause tire owners to continue using defective tires and increase the risk of accidents.

To resolve this safety issue, dealers are replacing affected tires at no charge to owners. However, Hankook has not yet announced a timeline for notifying owners. Customers can contact Hankook Customer Service at 1-800-426-5665 for more information and assistance.
