Yokohama Tire Announces Voluntary Recall of 6,992 Commercial Tires
SANTA ANA, CA – (Aug. 26, 2023) – Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified NHTSA it is voluntarily recalling one size of the 504C. A total of 6,992 of size 11R22.5 manufactured at Yokohama’s plant in West Point, Mississippi between June 27, 2022 and December 3, 2022 are being recalled.
