More than 82,000 tires recalled for lengthy identification number, NHTSA says

  

Certain tires are being voluntarily recalled because they could pose a potential safety risk, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Around 82,964 of Mulistrada’s Achilles ATR Sport 2 tires are being pulled because the Tire Identification Number (TIN) is too long and may prevent owners from receiving a recall notice, increasing the risk of a crash.

No injuries have been reported as of this writing.

These were sold on sites like Discount Tire and Amazon. The recalled models are only in certain sizes, including:

  • 245/50ZR20
  • 245/45R17
  • 225/55ZR18
  • 295/25ZR21
  • 205/45ZR17

Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, refund the purchase price of the tire. The company has not yet provided a notification schedule for owners, the NHTSA said.

You can contact the company’s Quality Assurance line at 1-800-739-7698.
