Tri-ace Pioneer A/t Iii: Tires recall
NHTSA campaign 22T001000 · 1,782 units potentially affected · filed Jan 19, 2022
What's wrong
Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd. (Vee Tyre) is recalling certain Tri-Ace Pioneer A/T III tires, sizes LT245/70R17 and LT235/85R16, with DOT codes 4718 through 1819. Due to a manufacturing issue, the sidewall may separate from the tire. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Why it matters
Sidewall separation can lead to tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Vee Tyre will notify and reimburse owners the cost of the tires, along with any service fees. The recall began March 3, 2022. Owners may contact Vee Tyre customer service at 1-212-564-7575. Vee Tyre's numbers for this recall are 16MBCMJBL & 16MJEMHBL.
